Ok we're all busy hunting and with spring here and
summer coming on that means swap meets & auctions.
How about picking a date in August and everybody
posting their summer finds...
This could include all coin-op stuff or car/gas stuff,
projects completed (before & after images)
Since we all can't meet at once in person because of
our locations we'll just all meet here in August or Sept.
What do you all think... Or any other ideas (better or
to add) Just be cool to see more images of stuff throughout the good ol' USA!

And sorry.... That should be “Summer“ Finds not “Wsummer” finds...
Jim can you fix that?... Sorry for that... A proof read would have been nice.

Hi Eric
hope you haven't forgoten me in the UK. I might be able to turn up a chesterfield or two or even a Triumph sportscar. Doubt I'll find a Soda Machine in a Car boot sale though.
I think its a great idea. I love your stories of magic finds.

in a few weeks. Last year there was a Cav 51 several Westinghouse chests, gas pumps
Stoner Candy machine, a dozen square tops, soda fountain stools and drive in speakers..... Can't wait!

If I can actually find a find (yes, a proud product of the American School Systems) this summer, I will participate.

Dave,
We never forget you. You are just as big a part of this group as any of us.
By the way Eric, great idea.

hey,
Great idea!!
I'll post my finds if there are any. If not I still have 3 more machines to work on,
so I can post my before and after pics if nothing else.
My V 63 is on hold this week my electrician has jury duty.

Hey Jim...
There seems to be some interest in this... is there a way we maybe could set up
a section in the photo gallery area for “Summer Finds 2005” That way we won't
bog down the discussion area. We could do this at the end of every summer...

I didn't know that posting finds hurt the discussion section. I really enjoy posting finds as I get them. I don't think I could wait all summer to show them off. Is there possibly a way we could have a new finds topic on the discussion forum? That way it wouldn't take away from questions or any other important posts in the other sections? Just a thought. If posting pictures of new finds is bothersome to the site please say so and I will stop.
