Title: Re: Sharing three pictures Post by: David D on March 05, 2012, 12:14:25 pm That is a very interesting machine, it looks great, how difficult has it been to restore?
Title: Re: Sharing three pictures Post by: Pat Pixley on March 05, 2012, 12:59:07 pm Thanks guys it has been a cool machine to do , hate to give it up :tounge: it has grown on me .
, how difficult has it been to restore? It was not that bad to do , there are no parts out there for this so you have to be careful with what your taking apart some of the wiring was bad so that was a bit of a challenge. What was hard was the fact that I was doing a members/Friends Machine and did not want to disappoint him.

Title: Re: Sharing three pictures Post by: BrianS on March 05, 2012, 08:26:57 pm That is one different looking machine. It is striking and would definately catch your attention. Was yellow an original color for that model?
Title: Re: Sharing three pictures Post by: Ltransam on March 05, 2012, 10:38:33 pm Well It's the original color of this One . As the Story Was Told To Me It Was Originally But in Bar by the GrandFarther Of the Guy i Got it From In South Western Kentucky. As a Test Machine .And Didn't leave till the Bar Closed In the 50s And it was was removed by the The Son and then Passed To the Grandson All three of the Family Members Worked For RC. I received the Machine With the Wood Shipping Planks Still on It . Now Mind you It's Just The Story I was Told When I picked it up .He Did Show Me his Grandfathers Uniform & A picture of him next to a RC Truck .. I did try to get the Picture But was Told NO nicely .

:drinking: Tim :drinking: Title: Re: Sharing three pictures Post by: pinballdude on March 05, 2012, 11:43:57 pm OK, so if these were made in Stl Louis, MO WHY haven't I seen one anywhere?
I am only an hour from St.Louis. Maybe I am looking in all the wrong places? I have been collecting a long time and have seen my share of machines but never a Delph. Were they all exported out of Missouri? Maybe since they held RC, it was an RC exclusive like Vendo and Coke? Now that I think about it, the same applies to 7UP. St Louis company but you never see pre-square top 7UP machines around here. And 7UP is from the 20s right? Just thinking out loud. Trying to get an education from those who know better about such things. Anyway, beautiful machine. Always good to see the more rarely seen stuff. Thanks for sharing.
