WOW WOW WOW!
That is fantastic!
May we ask how much you paid? Even just the smaller part alone has sold for a ton on eBay and you got the whole mothership!
Tell us the story behind it. What is that location in the photos?

Post by: halehouse on May 10, 2005, 02:40:28 pm

I saw that on eBay and then went back and couldn't find it. I was just going to link to it from here in a post. It is the one that was used in a school concession stand, right? Sweet!

My advice for just this kind of thing is on her birthday bring the bling and make it bling bling it usually works

Title: Help maybe ???
Post by: on May 12, 2005, 10:50:48 am

Have you considered giving it to her as her birthday present? That's how my Dad got away with purchasing a new 66 Ford Galaxie 500 many years ago. And it worked. Too bad about ten years later he slipped up when he explained why the car meant so much to him.

All the "mine, mine" notes above, and I keep picturing a old warner brothers cartoon where Bugs accidently tunnels into a cave of hidden treasure, and Daffy spends about half of the dialogue running amuck hollering "mine, mine, mine! I'm rich! I'm comfortably well off!".

Best wishes, it's a beautiful machine you've gotten.

Title: Help maybe ???
Post by: on May 12, 2005, 11:29:32 am

Don't give it to her as a gift. She'll be wise to it, hate it and you will have to sleep on the couch for a long time. Plus everytime she walks past it for the next 40 years, it will remind her of how you tried to manipulate her with it.
Get her something that SHE really loves.

Post by: halehouse on May 12, 2005, 01:18:23 pm

Hassan Chop! Right? This is really turning into a thought loop. That makes me think of the one where Bugs goes to Bagdad and meets the Genie in the lamp. Anybody remember that? "Can't a man get a decent bath around here? Now go AWAY!" The genie sound like Thurston Howell.

Ltransam,
That is just an outstanding score!!! Glad you were able to get the pic's posted. Very happy for you and keep us posted.

Kito, think a sea train would be a standard cargo shipping container. W8':H6':L15' more or less. All metal you may see them stacked 2 high on train flat cars. Just my guess.

I don't see how your other half wouldn't like it.
It's great.

I'd take a machine over bling anyday. Not much of a jewelry person.

Kito,
Sea train's are cargo containers used on frieght ships. I have a 45' and 2-20' for storage on the backside of my property. They're great for storing stuff in, all metal construction.

Ltransam,
I found another Scotsman ice machine with a 1962 dispenser today. It has been in the same resturant since 1962. They recently retired it because the refrig. motor went out. They are asking 1600.00, I'm waiting them out a little longer trying to get a better price. :drinking:
