Ok, Now that the wish list part is over... WHAT DID YA GET!!! Let's see what Santa left for you under the Tree this year!
I'll start, The Family gave the usual stuff, Gift cards, Socks, Ties, blah blah blah...
but SANTA  Came Through and Found me a Hot Mixed nut machine!!! Way To GO BIG RED!!
Was on Ebay, didnt' sell, emailed the seller and made an offer and it's on the way here. Photos are stock photos, but mine is just as good, missing 2 decals...
Also with some Christmas Cash I got , I put it towards a 6 foot diecut Coke Bottle sign, NOS. Photos to follow on that later this afternoon!!!
It was  Great Christmas!!!
Let's see what Santa Left you guys!!!

Cant wait to see the coke sign :oh:

Sweet scores!.. Check with Roger at www.crowriver.com  for the decals missing.

I got the coin box from ebay for my NW 49 ! Thanks for the head up guys!

other hand wow...  All we do is watch PS3 on the TV! :laugh:

I really want one of those Peanut Vendors... Sold a 3W1 a few days ago so want to replace a toy with a toy asap.

Anyone who spots one... Plse let me know..

Santa gave me the money this year and said "Sort yourself out, I'm fed up trying to guess."

Good old Santa, he was good to me  a new 7" grinder, Drill bits, gift cert/cards,
shirts, socks, Dinner & movie passes and then after Jan. 1   we are going out to
get a 42" Flat screen  for the Bar Room figured we would hit the sales or is that
before or after the super bowl   . :smile:

Like Dave, I received some cash.  One of the things I did receive is another audiobook on CD.  I drive about 30 minutes each way to work.  Radio (non satellite) is the pits these days.  I never thought I'd like the books on CD thing, but I gotta tell you they are GREAT!  Our public library stocks them, so I have only ever had to buy one.  Now, I have another from Santa.

The kids got some cool stuff.  My son (aged 5) is playing with this big crane appartus.  It's motorzied and is pretty cool.

I did pretty good. I got some really great books, among them the most notable were "The Pocket Guide to Coin-op Vending Machines" and the "Collectors Guide to Antique Radios, 7th Edition". I also got a book about Thomas Hamill, the truck driver who was taken hostage over in Iraq and a WWII air battle book.

I also scored a Victor Half Cabinet Gumball Machine. This was an Ebay winning that I got for pretty cheap (even with shipping). The really cool thing was my key for my Victor Topper fit the lock on the Half Cabinet perfectly! Saved me the trouble of ordering a new lock!!

My wife and daughter really cleaned up. My wife got an Ipod Nano and a new computer and my daughter got the wife's old computer! All in all a really great Christmas  :biggrin:

I got some gift cards to Best Buy, which will most likely be spent on PS3 games for my 6-year-old and movies.
A 750ml box set of Gentleman Jack with glasses, some books and other stuff.
My big gift to myself was another Vendo Coin Changer off eBay - needs to be restored, but it is straight and  complete with rejector and coin box and even included the original pole mounting plate and brackets - all for $535 (S&H inc.)

     Wow........That sign is awesome    :jawdrop:

I got a rock. :down:

ROFLMAO... I was thinking the same thing!
