Couple of machines in my neighborhood

If he has a buyer at $1500 why doesn't he sell it? I've heard that line before.

Well, I bought them this afternoon.  Two days into the new year and my first two machines.  Looks like its going to be a fun year.  Can't wait to get into them.  The 81 needs some TLC but its all there.  The 56 will clean up nice.  Will probably ask some silly questions along the way and may look at selling one and concentrating on the other depending on what kind of time I end up being able to free up to work on them.  I'm really looking forward to this and my kids may be more excited than I am.   Thanks to all who have made this place a wealth of information.  Looks like I'll be digging through the archives!!

I love the 56's with the 81's coming in a close 2nd!  Nice job on the prices, I think you did well for what you got.  Those two machines are very hard to find where I live.

Let us see them when you start fixin em up!!

I was pretty happy with the price.  I called him up on Sunday and he still had them.  Asked what he was wanting to get for them and he said $2,250 if I took them both and did the deal that day.  He even delivered them.  Today was a rare slow day at the office so I took the afternoon off and did a little exploration.  The 81 had a couple small rust holes so I was curious to see what the extent was.  Not too bad, but needs some attention.  Going to attack the rust and start getting the rest of the machine cleaned and redone!  Hope to get into the 56 later this week.  It has no visible exterior rust but if I have to do body work, would like to do both at the same time.  By the way, Signguy was referenced in another thread as someone who had made up an replacement pans for hte 81's.  Has anyone used these before?

Great Score on the two machines for a great price!! Two of the best machines out there in my opionion.. i use my 56 daily to keep my beer in downstairs.. was a hit over New years!! and I made $5.60 in beer sales over New Years..  Oh I guess I need to raise my prices?
