Title: New additions to the family
Post by: jholmgren on October 18, 2012, 04:30:58 pm
I picked up these on Sunday in the Poconos (thanks for the tip Tim and Slider-Bob!)  

The one on the left is the "27a" that I really wanted, the Glasco GBV50 was a bit of a throw-in.  I got it pretty much thrown in because the "27a" is actually a 33.   I drove 2.5 hours each way, but the seller never looked at the little plate just about at eye level on the side of the machine.   :darn:

Both machines work, both need a good cleaning.  The 33 needs a lock and to get the proper decals applied.  The slider has a replacement coin mech (thanks again Slider Bob!) that I will install when I'm done cleaning them.

Nice pickup Jim...Glad you could find them locally, and could get the parts you needed!

Looks like you are buying a machine a month. Way to go!

      Wow, I sure hope you're not planning on spraying any paint on those, they're nice.

Thanks as always Slider-Bob!

MoonDawg - no plans to repaint either one, I like machines with "patina".

Nice machines. I like the Glasco.  I'm hoping that will be my next find.  I had one locked in a couple of months ago and the guy sold it out from under me as I was packing my truck to go pick it up.   :censored:
