Big Blue has arrived!  I picked this up early this year from John (Signguy) and I wasn't going to post this until after it was completed but I thought that this was just too funny.  If anyone ever wants one of these in their house, I'd think twice.  It's big and blue and will drop your testes too.  This monster is 6' 6" x 32" wide.  I don't know the weight, but it is up there.  Just look at how it drawfs the other machines.  That's the funny part. laugh

I'd like to thank John for meeting me in the Dells and helping me get this beast in my van and Cokemachinesandmore for coming over with his buddy Donny and helping me getting this thing down in my basement.  The next home owners might inherit this.

I even removed the condensing unit, belts, and gearing and it still was heavy.

I'll post some pics when it is finished.

Wow Larry... you got a nice collection down there.. That machine looks cool, but does look like it belongs tied to a chain hanging from the cruise ship I just got off of.

I'd leave it down there too. I am sure it was a lot easier to get it down the stairs than it will be to get it up the stairs!
You'll be older when it comes time to move it again too.

I would have taken the door off also or does it come off like the other machines with a wiggle and lift?
All the kids will love it I'm sure! Mine would and that is partly why I don't have an IC machine.

I feel sorry for your friends. I have a Mills 120- 80" x 27", 650lbs about the same size. I don't even want to think about it jawdrop

My testes dropped just by looking at the picture!  But, I'd love to have a machine like that.  My kids and wife (and me) love ice cream.

Wow, that sucker is big!
Does it dispense little ice cream cups, or ice cream sandwiches?

I was going to take the door off but I was worried about the wiring.  I had two of these machines.  One was gutted and this one was saved.  The gutted one actually had a wire harness so you could disconnect the wiring from the brain box to remove the door.  The one I kept did not have the harness and I didn't want to cahnce breaking anything.

It takes what ever will fit in the belts.  I have one cone belt and two ice cream bars or ice cream sandwich belts.  I kept one ice cream bar  belt and the gears from the scrap machine just incase I ever wanted to make the cone selection into an ice cream bar selection.

Space is very limited.  This is not the permanent home.  It's going in the corner.  It looks ridiculous where it is.

I sold my Evans Rolletto Jr.  That will be replaced by the Acme Roulette and I still have to get rid of one Stoner and I believe I will put my Vmc72 in the garage and bring in the Mills 400c, but that will be next year.

I also have a ton of beer signs that need to be hung on the wall.

The other side of the basement has some E.M. games.  I have room for one more game.......a Chicago Coin Twin Rifle shooting gallery. 

HI LEONARD. biggrin biggrin biggrin hopefull biggrin biggrin biggrin
