Just got done browsing around at the Kane County Show. Not quite as many sellers as last year and most stuff was way overpriced. Some pretty cool stuff though.

Some more pictures! Also, the last picture is more of a joke than anything. The guys wearing the PINK Chicago Bears stocking hats are from Europe somewhere. Holland, Sweden, Germany, not too sure. But for the past couple of years they've been wearing these hats and it's kinda' comical  :biggrin:

Also, got a chance to meet up with Tom from Jersey for the first time. Great guy! I ended up walking away with a "Silent Salesman Too" book and two free cans of Moxie Soda Pop.....I hope tomorrow at Pheasant Run yeilds a better catch!

Great photo's Brian thanks for sharing. So do you think those guys with the
Pink cap will be in Chicago Now that maybe the thing for next year every one that goes to Chicago should wear a Pink cap  :laugh:  :laugh: Ok I'm Joking    OR AM I  :glare:
Yeaah Just joking :laugh:

Again thank for the photo's

  the 7Up  upright With the read bottle door  what was that priced at ??  :tounge:

Pat - I would guess that 7Up belonged to Brian (Seven181).
I could be wrong though!

      If Brian were there I'm sure we would have seen a lot more
machines than we see in these pic's.  :darn:

Guys the Kane show was not all that. But when i got there on wednesday afernoon there was a Vendo milk machine complete. I missed buying it by 5 minutes. It went for the crazy amount of $ 300.00 bucks with the marquee on top. i have picture on my phone but i am having trouble logging in. Post as soon as i get it fixed. But i really think this machine was a Juice machine, in the marquee was orange, tomatoe, pineapple and choc. milk. The sign n the front was in green and orange writing. Could not believe i missed it !! :darn:

Guys! I was there. That was me selling off some of my old soda machines. I got rid of a few. Not a great show for a soda collector. I sold the "parts machine" square top 56 with red door for $100. Next year I might go to Chicago and let go of some of my finished stuff.

Oh My $100. I would have paid $150. I really want a 7up transitional machine. I wish I had known you wanted that little for it.  :darn:

What model Jacobs is that? 144? Did you sell it?

looks like a 26-35 to me

Yeah I think you're right Josh.
I just looked at the soda machine section and saw that the 144 a two sets of louvres.
Anyway - did you sell the 26-35?

Brian loaded it back up I believe... it didn't sell.

Hey! I have a Jacobs 26 for sale. I only sold a 56 square top body, no coin mech or inside rack. PM me if you are interested in the Jacobs.

Brian

AWW!! I wish I knew about that that little 56,  well my lose
Well good luck Brian I hope you do well.

Sounds like we need to work on our communication skills so members can benefit...

The guys with the pink hats are all from the Netherlands, they are all independent Jukebox Collectors.(I.E> they are hobbyists) The europeans who re-sell don't like them very much as they are working into their market. I have sold a few speakers to one of them for the last couple of years.

Here is that Mlk Machine is was talking about.

Whoever bought that got a heck of a deal.  Sorry it was not at least someone on this site.
