 John is in the witness protecion plan   8) :tounge:.

 Sorry did  not enter any more last night I was tired  3AM till midnight is a long day  :Oo:.
It was really great meeting Leonard, and like Leonard said we have been talking for over a yr on the phone
but it was good to finally  put a face with a voice  and set there and visit, which was hard  too do
because of his outstanding Coca Cola Clock Collection and just some of the other cool things he has  WOW!! 
 there was alot of cool stuff.  And it was great just to meet a good friend  if we lived  it would be trouble  :laugh: :laugh:.

And Just so you guys know   Leonards Delf is getting restore for Leonard , the Vendo 81 (restored one)
has been sold  &  same with the other vendo 81.


And Leonard I should have had two burgers those were good :smile:.

Hi Pat looks like U and John  had a good time, road trips are always fun, knowing you more pictures are coming, but just wonder what type of machine is the yellow one?

That one ( Yellow in the pictures) is the Delf-122/dual flavor vendor, you can see the three-flavor version (Delf-159/triple in Jeff Walters soda-machine 3rd edition book page 281, although it doesn't state it in the book, it's a very uncommon machine in the 159/triple, let alone the 122/dual.

The trip was a lot of fun, & I've had an adversity to having my picture taken since I was a little guy, my mom was probably frightened by an Eastman Kodak dealer or something I guess... :tounge:

Johnie,

Is this a 126 or 122...?
I think Leonard told me the tag states 122; can you verify since I may have inaccurate info...?
Thanks

It's sooo cool that Pat and Johnnie are close enought Geographically that they can do road trips and stuff like this together.. I have made many great friends on this site as well and it's just too bad where all so far apart...
Not sure about you guys, but all of my other friends ( and  do have a couple) could care less about Soda machines stuff, much less drive in a car for hours to go look at something or pick something up and actually be excited about it..
Very cool!
I hope you all an make the Chicago Fall show... We had a great party last fall!
