Title: My V39 arrives home Post by: Kilroy on April 17, 2012, 06:47:13 pm First off, A special thank you to Slider-Bob, who not only talked me out of buyer's remorse, went with me to pickup, load and bring the 39 home. And a thank you to RayG, who jumped in and offered to help get it. I owe you both.
I take lousy pictures, but she is unbelievably straight, and I'm glad I wasn't talked out of it. Now if I hit the lottery this weekend, I can get started on her a lot sooner Title: Re: My V39 arrives home Post by: BONOVOX on April 17, 2012, 07:01:38 pm Nice pickup Kilroy!
Are you going to restore it to an all red machine? Title: Re: My V39 arrives home Post by: Kilroy on April 17, 2012, 07:06:09 pm I like the 2 tone, but this one will back to all red.

Will be a nice/fun project and I'm glad to hear it will be going back to its original color scheme! Title: Re: My V39 arrives home Post by: mznb1u on April 17, 2012, 08:46:54 pm Nice Machine Kilroy! Where did you find that one?

Sweet machine! looks all original and all there....you wouldn't have to fix anyone's hack job :tounge: .... looking forward to seeing it! Title: Re: My V39 arrives home Post by: Kilroy on April 17, 2012, 09:30:00 pm Ray, it is in much better shape than the one we looked at after the Michigan Mafia luncheon, no dents or dings, some rust on the door.
Tim - it was listed on Detroit CL. now to fix up the OMT so I can pay for this project :) Title: Re: My V39 arrives home Post by: Slider-Bob on April 17, 2012, 09:47:14 pm It's a nice machine Jim...Congrats! I'm sure you'll be really happy with it once it's restored to your specs.
And thanks for the coke picnic cooler you gave me (that the seller gave you) for buying the 39. You didn't have to do that, but I appreciate it and I'll fix it up and make you proud (the repaint job on it was bad with orange peel and flaking like crazy). Title: Re: My V39 arrives home Post by: Pat Pixley on April 17, 2012, 11:00:58 pm Well congrat's Jim glad you got it it will look great down in the basement with all your other cool stuff :smile:
Title: Re: My V39 arrives home Post by: Slapshot42 on April 18, 2012, 12:15:31 am Looks great Jim! Congrats. I saw a few at the Portland Swap Meet I would of considered one but is was missing the drum, and the cooling system had been swapped with something else!
I bet it will be one fun project! Jared Title: Re: My V39 arrives home Post by: Wojcik on April 18, 2012, 06:03:41 am Good looking machine! Should be a fun project. :smile:

BC Title: Re: My V39 arrives home Post by: Kilroy on April 18, 2012, 09:13:12 am BC the instructions say insert dime, but the coin mech is in need of serious attention, and wouldn't accept any change.
Bob and I were also amused the bottle cap catcher was filled with old Coke bottle caps, as well as caps circa 1960's for Stroh's, which in it's time was a Detroit brewed beer. Title: Re: My V39 arrives home Post by: Swachtelncc on April 18, 2012, 02:37:55 pm Nice pickup,
