Title: What a difference a year makes. Post by: kbareit on July 30, 2013, 02:54:17 pm A year ago today I became a member here on SMC and would like to thank all the members here who helped me by answering questions and allowing me to help when needed.
I would never have guessed that there were so many great people here and that I would have made a few good friends along the way. And to think that I started out with a 1982 Vendo Pepsi machine to having close to 40 different machines most of which were found or purchased from members here. Just wanted to thank the SMC community for a great first year and hope many more are to come. :happydrinkers: Ken Title: Re: What a difference a year makes.

Title: Re: What a difference a year makes. Post by: Slider-Bob on July 30, 2013, 09:06:03 pm Ken...congrats on your 1 year anniversary, but more importantly, thanks for all your help, both to me and to the other smc members.
Keep on collecting! Title: Re: What a difference a year makes. Post by: jholmgren on July 30, 2013, 09:32:12 pm I'll second what Bob says - thanks for your help Ken. It was a genuine pleasure to meet you face-to-face when I was en route to Michigan earlier this year.
I also REALLY appreciate your help with the cooling in my Glasco slider. Not many people would volunteer their services on a cooling system and turn it around in under 24 hours so I could pick it up on the way back home. I still owe you a big favor, so keep checking my neck of the woods for anything interesting I can pick up for you! Jim Title: Re: What a difference a year makes.

Glad to have you in the gang! 40 in a year--quite impressive. I used to be on the one a month plan but have slowed down a bit lately. Picked up my first vintage slot machine today though! Will post under a separate subject with pictures! :drinking: Tim :drinking: Title: Re: What a difference a year makes. Post by: BrianS on July 31, 2013, 12:13:45 am Happy anniversary!! Always great when a contributing member comes on board. Here's to many more good years to come. Although it may be tough to kep up the 40 machine a year pace.
