Title: Ice Cream Machine wanted!
Post by: Seven181 on March 03, 2012, 03:04:28 pm
Gang,

Well, this does not happen very often. The wife has instructed me to find an ice cream machine. If anyone knows of one or has one that they want to sell, let me know. Looking for maybe the smaller vendo type machine. The wife would like me to get a working or find one and get it restored for the kids! Two girls, 5 and 3! Not often she tells me to find a machine!!!!  :happydrinkers: :drinking:

If anyone has info on finding one, I would appriciate it.

Thanks,

Brian

Wow, the wife actually asked you to get a machine!
That's like discovering plutonium by accident!!!

Good luck with your search! I've seen them pop up on CL here and there....

Find one of the Vendo ice cream machines from the 1950s. On a side note, is there a single picture of what they look like? I've seen the milk/hot foods vender but not the ice cream machine.

Brian,

Is this the first wife?  Would she mind calling my wife?  I have to answer 20 questions ever time I leave the house and promise her that I am not off to "one of my junking adventures".

Ha! The first wife! She is 50/50 on the hobby. As long as they are going out she is happy, when they come in, not so much!! lol. When I take the truck out, she always says, "where you going" are you going to pick up a machine? ha. Oh well, this time she says find the kids an ice cream machine! So, i am on the hunt.

My wife has given up... She put up a fight for a couple of years and then just gave in.
She don't do too bad out fo the hobby, I make sure of that...

Hey Brian, watching for one for you as well!  Unfortunately, there aren't many of these (or any other machines, for that matter) over here in Africa!   :down:  Can't wait to get back home and get back on the hunt!

Good luck!
