SMC Discussion Areas

Just wanted to share a few pics of where I laid my Ideal 55 to rest (for now till I decide what to do with it) and some Texaco letters that I picked up a couple of weeks ago.
I should have cleaned up the TV area before the pic... but then my wife would have asked if I was feeling alright lol

                    SWEET !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It looks amazing! Love RC and Dr Pepper. I like the placement of machines on side's of TV.

Killer! Can we come visit?

Nice collection you have there Ed.   :jawdrop:

I feel like the RC 81 doesn't go we'll in that setup...you should just give it to me...I would be willing to HELP you out.

Awesome!  I am so jealous

TEXACO looks great against the brick.

Best looking entertainment center I have ever seen. Congrats

Nice!!

Love the TEXACO letters....Are those metal....?

Awesome displays of all your stuff, must be nice to turn the TV on and get to stare right at a couple machines!

Very nice indeed. Where is the 7UP 81 to go with the rest of the line up ?

Very nicely done. Looks very inviting.   :biggrin:

Ed,

I agree.  The Yellow RC Cola doesn't seem to go with anything else in the room.  I showed the pics to my interior decorator and she said dump it (I probable can find a room with some pastels that it would be more appropriate in my house).  Because I am in Buffalo and you are close by in Canada, I will send a truck across the border and grab it this week if that is ok.
I already cleared it with US Customs.


Bc

       And declared value was __________?  :blush:

lol.....

Thanks all for the nice words....
I usually change the machines next to the TV every few months so that I feel like I got a new machine lol. (although I havnt done that in a while now)
It's funny... with my Ideal 55, I declared 200 at the border and was questioned, drilled, and had to show my texts and email etc..... and they couldn't prove anything..... YET when I brought my RC 81 over the border, I claimed 1500, and they didn't even take a second look!!!

The letters are not metal or porcelain (I wish) but rather plastic.  They made them for Texaco in 2 sizes when it came to plastic.... 21" (what I have) and 13".  I'm just missing the stars that go with it, but they always pop up on Ebay.

Trust me when I say this........ IF you guys ever see my machines on CL, Ebay, or my local Kijiji, that means that I have died, and my wife is selling. Unitl then, tell all your interior decorators that yellow clashes with everything!!   :tounge:

Again, thanks guys for the nice words.... it's all still just a work in progress lol

Ed  (I think this is my 1000 th post !!  wow, I spend too  much time on the computer lol)

         You were selling a 110 parts machine a while ago, is this...................... "one foot in the grave"?  :laugh:

I was just letting an extra 110/81 door go, as I bought the machine for parts myself.
I guess that was  me having a blocked artery.   :smile:

I have sold machines over the years.... typically when I go to pick up a machine for myself, I look to see what is around that area, simply to flip it even for a couple of hundred just to pay for the gas etc....

I'd be distracted.. hard to pay attention to whats on screen with such great Eye Candy surrounding it..
