 Just picked this up today. I paid $150.00 for it. I think I got a good deal on it. It's my first pop machine and should be fun to restore!  :smile:

My take on it "What the Michigan Mafia is about"  is it's a group of guys  with a common interests  "SMC" that try to help each out and ever now and then get together for lunch etc to hang out and over time make some friends alone the way.  :happydrinkers:

Rule's Michigan Mafia
  Lunch-in once a year , the secret hand shake , the giving of blood for the family,
 never rat out a member to that members wife (he has had that forever , I don't want it any more so I gave it to him)perfectly good responces
for the wife's ,  You help a brother out when you can (if you can)
the rest of the rules can't let you know here on the site it would have to be in person ..
