Title: Tuesday's Haul Post by: BONOVOX on November 22, 2012, 04:34:40 pm Well, after meeting Brian (bcharlton) (nice meeting you Brian :smile: I continued about an hour drive in up state NY and picked up this 55. Never thought I would own a 55, but I needed a fix cause I didn't buy anything for a while lol.
Now I find myself looking for 35 and 55 sliders lol. Sigh I have a problem lol. Well, here she is (It is embossed) Title: Re: Tuesday's Haul Post by: Slapshot42 on November 22, 2012, 04:40:11 pm Congrats! Welcome to the Club! Is there a Squirt Slider Club??
It's my favorite slider! Title: Re: Tuesday's Haul Post by: BONOVOX on November 22, 2012, 04:49:45 pm lol... I forgot.... when my wife read the name on the front.... she said that it was a fitting for me and my love of these machines :tounge:

Title: Re: Tuesday's Haul Post by: johnnyselman on November 22, 2012, 06:47:29 pm Hey ED,your collection is really growing nicely! How close is the yellow color on this Squirt to the yellow on your RC? I just picked up a generic 55.
Title: Re: Tuesday's Haul Post by: BONOVOX on November 22, 2012, 10:54:43 pm I haven't put the two side by side, but I don't think it would be a fair observation as my RC 81 was restored, and the 55 is a 50+ year paint. Yet in saying that, I don't think it's too far off of a 81 RC, (the 55 may have a bit more of a mustard to it, but again, it might just be the age and dirt etc..)

Title: Re: Tuesday's Haul Post by: bcharlton on November 23, 2012, 11:17:45 am Congrats Ed. It was great meeting you as well. Let me know if you need the coin mech and the rack for it.
I still have 2 complete 55s in my warehouse collecting dust. Brian |
