Title: Is it just me
Post by: kahonwes on August 09, 2006, 10:22:39 pm
I've noticed people on here are not only machine addicted but are very good sources of information.   Its nice to know where to find information on these things and meet people who enjoy not only cold beverages but rebuilding things.

I've only got a Vendo 44 and I feel like I'm addicted, I cant wait till I get my can of paint in so I can strip the machine and paint it.  Then get it back together to its former glory working in my house...

Then I'll work on getting me a slider, my dad already thinks I'm nuts.  I sold a scooter I spent a month rebuilding for a coke machine, but the scooter will be worth zip in a year so I think it was worth every penny.

Well I do owna few other coin-op things like a Beaver Vending machine that I hock stale peanuts with in my fathers store, the sucker makes lots of money, I also have a Duncan Parking Meter that I found on the street in montreal, some punk kicked the #### out of it until it spilled its guts and I took it home lol.

I saw a one cent Dixie Cup coin-op dispenser a while back on eBay - tall - had a turn knob and the bottom - nice shape - I think it went for close to $200.
