Title: SMC Members Helping Each Other Post by: mznb1u on July 23, 2010, 10:15:35 pm A while back, Josh (loman4ec) bought a transitional VMC in Michigan that he needed picked up and stored for a bit. I picked it up and a few months later delivered it to Brian (Seven181) for eventual delivery to Josh.
I have been looking for a Victor C-45 for a while to use as a bar in my basement. Josh knew I was looking for one and a couple months back, he located one near Dayton, OH. Working complete (except for one cap catcher and opener) embossed C-45. Josh put me in touch with the seller and I cut the deal. Josh and Brian agreed to help with the pick up. Unfortunately, something came up and Josh was not available so Brian did the pick-up. Today, he delivered my machine from South of Dayton, OH to my doorstep about 20 miles northwest of Ann Arbor, MI. :biggrin: This is what makes this site great - - SMC Members helping each other out! :happydrinkers: THANKS Josh for finding the machine and checking it out! :happydrinkers: and THANKS Brian for making the pick-up and delivery! :happydrinkers: I owe you big time! :drinking: Tim :drinking: PS--Tomorrow I will attempt to add casters--any advice/pointers out there from someone who has done it? Also, I am now in need of a cap catcher and opener for this machine--preferrably white but red will do!

Title: Re: SMC Members Helping Each Other Post by: Jim on July 24, 2010, 05:46:30 pm Glad everything worked out for you, Tim ! ! !
And a big Thanks to all of those who assist and lend a hand to other SMC Members ! ! ! Title: Re: SMC Members Helping Each Other Post by: mznb1u on July 24, 2010, 05:56:15 pm Regarding the casters, I'd put them on the bottom of the machine :smile: Jim--thanks for the "expert" advice! :laugh: 8) :biggrin: Was not able to locate casters with enough of a load rating today. :down: Grainger is not open on Saturday but they have what I need. Having a big machine in the driveway and a storm on the way was motivation enough to clean up at least about half of the garage. I picked up a couple of dolly's from Costco until I get the wheels--then I will return the dollys--I love their return policy. Looks like a couple of the levelers have broken off over the years so I will have to Liquid Wrench them and then use a back out drill. There are 6 places for levelers/casters so once the wheels have been installed it should be pretty easy to move around. I will post more pictures when I get it cleaned up. I think it will polich up rather nicely and be a user until I get the cash for a total resto! Thanks again Josh and Brian! :happydrinkers: :drinking: Tim :drinking: |
