Title: A New account and a free machine
Post by: Pat Pixley on September 07, 2007, 03:12:53 pm
We just wrote a new acount  Business  (a doller store) and his personal stuff
(1home 3 autos and 3 rental homes)  so it has been a good day.
Our new client was telling us that he at one time sold  Town club Soda
(some of you may know what that was)  and he had a old cooler down in the
basement , So my eye's lit up Then there was the magic words  You need to come on over and take a look.
So we walked over when down this narrow stair way to see  this slider a Ideal 500
 ( I think it's big)  Then he said it a big one what do you think  ?
I looked it over it is missing the rack (MY LUCK)   but it looked like it the rest was all
there , So I said what do you need for it ?? 8)  And here is the best part,
He said  YOU CAN JUST HAVE IT ! :biggrin: :hopefull: :tounge:
 It just has to be out next week .
 Then remembering that the stairs are narrow I borrowed a tape messure
and did some quick messuring and I will have to take the hinges off
and that will give me a 1/2 inch on both side to get this out  :help:.

 So next week I will have photo's of this RC ( I forgot to say it is a RC not inbossed)
 of the stairs and of the cooler.

Way to go Pat!
Might be hard to find a rack though.

Try and get some pictures of you struggling up those stairs...
I like to know that there are other people out there who have suffered the way I have...

I had to completely break down a Seeburg once to get it up three flights of stairs. No wonder I have a bad back...

Well done Mate.

Be careful getting it out of the basement; we don't need any back injuries...

Congrats on an easy deal ! ! !

Yes take it easy on the stairs, I once had a Ideal 300 and it was a monster to move around.

Well it's out and I did not even have to pull it out , My new Client pulled it out
 I saw him monday after noon and said I would stop by Tuesday to get it out
 and he said  Ok  , Then a hour later he stoped by and asked  for the junk man (HA HA
meaning me I guess) and said he had it out  ?  He had a freight elevator that he loaded it on
and had it setting on the loading dock .
Big plus for me no broken backs   :tounge:.

 Plus I got to look at it a little better it is a Ideal 85, still heavy , Had to load it in the truck.
 and again missing the rack ( Just MY Luck again) But a fair chrome top coin mech  :biggrin:  I dropped it off over in my storage area (Brother inlaws barn)  Get a photo of it
later today .
