I went out for the Friday parking lot only. Arrived late on thursday and did the usual b.s.ing with everyone. Friday morning I was out in the lot by 4:30. There were approx 1/2 to 2/3 of the usual amount of sellers, so not as much to pick through. As far as soda stuff goes, plenty of 39's and a few 81's. Both restored and unrestored 72's and 96's. Prices seemed high for the most part. A few of the more unusual, selectivend 7-up, 1 embossed, 1 with a sign. A Cav-33 7-up, Jacobs-56 Pepsi, Quickold Standard Generic, and a huge embossed Double Cola chest.
I did purchase a restored Ideal 35 embossed in Coca-Cola for a friend out there. Thats a very rare machine.
To make the trip worthwhile I made arrangements to sell and buy ahead of time. I finally got my Quickold Grapette Standard on the way home. That made the whole trip worth it for me. It's a 15 hour ride each way so....

So I'm told. I've never seen one before. I was told that it's like finding an embossed cav-33 in coke, not too many made.
I had my guy give Steve Ebner a call and he verified that it's the hardest 35 to find. I didn't move on it quickly because I wanted to have somebody tell me they did make them. It's got a five cent coin mech on it also, I've never seen that before either.
Do you have any addition info on the machine?

I'm back. The parking lot was pretty empty. There were not many people with their trucks open in the lot either. Like Tom said, there was a lot of the same stuff. Also, the booths seemed to have less items in them.
I picked up some 45's and a video game book. I was hoping to get a case of Mt. Dew, but Retro Soda is still having big problems getting it (thank you California!). A friend of mine picked up an EM pinball for $150. A+ backglass, C- playfield, and everything seems to be there. Looks like it will just need a good cleaning.
Overall, I was not very impressed this time. I put some pictures in the gallery.

$600 for that rusty V-44 doesn't seem like a bad price in picture #6. Am I reading that correct? Maybe gutted?
