Post by: Detroit Dave on July 11, 2013, 07:04:07 pm
OK..I brought donuts...some coffee...and some ice water is anyone wants some.As you can see I'm from DEETROIT and let me say first off..THIS SITE rocks.A little background you say.? I have always been interested in old pop machines..older pinball machines and older advertisement signs and such.In fact I have a few of my signs on EBay for sale.I was a car builder..( Think old Model A Ford Coupes..say 1929 to 1930..) but due to the loss of my home I kinda had to make a FEW adjustment..cant buy everything I see now..which sucks because I come across SO many deals...( found two REALLY old..say 1950s 7-up glass bottle machines in a garage but when I went back 2 days later..garage torn down with machines thrown out...YIKES..)Well I have more  to post but I will start a NEW SUBJECT on what I need to ask and if i get ANNOYING please remind me..I am a hands on guy and kinda slow when I have to READ through it..

        Welcome Dave.
        California here and we don't know a lot about that Michigan Mafia except what we hear.
        We hear that it's a group of guys that drive around the state buying signs and soda machines from the elderly
(yes their grandchildrens inheritance) for pennies on the dollar..............then make them eat dog food ?

Sometimes we buy direct from the grand-kids, since they have no idea how a non electric mech pop machine works.

Great, just what we need, another Michigan guy that's going to come into Ohio and pick our machines.  :biggrin: If you ever need one picked up in North East Ohio Dave let me know I'll be more than happy to help out.
