My bad....I sold the other one to a friend that had been looking for one...he has skills I don't have (body / paint) and he can do something with it that I would have never got around to doing...and too much rust for my painter to handle. But I feel like I owe you a favor for helping me with it...let me know if I can ever do anything for you.

It's funny...when I first picked it up, I was so happy I didn't see hardly any of it's flaws...now I'm making a list of everything I want to fix on it and it's adding up quite fast...kind of like a first girlfriend when you are a teenager...you don't see the flaws and then they just start to add up...

You don't owe me anything....I was just wondering. I, like you, have limited metal & welding skills, so I like finding machines that don't need a lot of work.

Earlier I said I had two other finds this week...my shipper just picked them up. 1.) was an embossed Pepsi 110 in pretty good shape (only seen the pictures) and 2.) the other was a generic VMC 81. It was originally a red and white RC  generic machine. I have been looking for a long time for one...I love the Orange Crush 81's and I don't really care if it's embossed or not, but I didn't want to cut up a Coke 81 to do it. But, if anyone has an orange crush panel that they aren't using, I would be interested in a trade or just pay cash.

I found it on Craigslist in California...not sure if it was on another site or not. Can you send me a picture of your panel? My friend has a panel, but it's out of an old chest cooler ( looks like a Glascock, but not sure what it is) and I want to compare the two.
