Hello, Everyone

                As you know I was the winner of the Rare 2 drop Delf Vendor in Ky . I finely got it home yesterday 700 miles Round trip $140 in gas (Company 6cly truck ) And as nomral I had to drive threw a Thunder Storm  :tounge: Every Time I go to pick up a Machine I get it by a Down Poor . Anyway there was a little worrying on my part because the seller called the day after I won .Telling me If ? i did'nt want it he would not hold it agansit me .I was Worrying & assured him I WANTED IT !! And Made arrangement to get .( Thought maybe what happend to Matt Might Happen to Me )  He was not there when I picked it up but His wife was & was very Nice .I asked her if there were people asking abought the machine & She confirmed YES . But they were Honest people & Kept there word . So now it's in my buddys garage . Will be posting More pictures Later .

Nice machine, looking forward to seeing more photo's

Wow! Sounds like a long drive. I put the limit on my trips (round trip) to 350 miles. I guess I am not as dedicated as you are to our hobby.

By the way. Great machine.

 Well I just tryed to respond AGAIN !!  :censored: But would'nt post Then LOST ALL MY  :censored: :censored: D#M ANSWERS TO ALL YOU GUYS ! SO now i'm only going to try & show a couple pictures of the coin mech & houseing . There is a little helper 1 of many 1 But there the reson I dont have much time anymore ,And I have more FUN with them .

 And another

 Coin mech with slug rejector removed . Anyone seen one like this ??

I think I have an extra housing like that if you need it - looks like yours is a dime only - mine may accept one dime OR two nickels - I'll have to look.

Nice addition to the collection BTW!

Leonard,

Just a word of advice on posting.  After you write a long and lengthly response, copy the text before sending.  This way if it fails, you can just paste it again.  I've had that happen to me a few times before I forced myself into the habit of copying the post before posting it.  There's nothing more agravating than spending a lot of time on thinking of the correct replies and than typing them out only for them to be lost into cyber-space.

Larry

Hello, All  :happydrinkers:

Leonard,

That machine is so darn cool. I am so glad that you got that. I will be back in September. We need to get together for a beer while I am back. I would love to see that machine. We are expecting to move back in about two years. I think I am going to go into the restoration business full time when I come home so I will finally make good on my old promise to restore some of your machines :)

I think if you come back Josh we need to meet up Johnie G , Kilroy
Leonard  Brent, and a few other guys' that are local.

 And Leonard get a good photo of it and EMAIL it to Eric
Yes I said EMAIL :smile: :smile:

And thanks for your help on the photo for the calander.

 Pat

Josh ,
          Make Sure you call me when you get back in town !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :happydrinkers:

I will do leonard. Pat I agree. I will be back in September for three weeks. I am not sure if I can make it up there this time though. I may not have transportation. We will see. I will let you know. If not this time I will be back in 6 months.

Josh , I was thinking that we could come down maybe meet up at Leonard's :smile:,
Leonard what do you think  ?

  Who knows maybe we could make this a annual event   :smile:.

    A BBQ  a cold coke  and a few machines  ?? 8)

Me and Brian are not to far away either. We could possibly come over aswell.

If Leonard is up to it I will be there!!!   :happydrinkers:

Well nothing beats a 12 pack of friends or even a case of friends  :smile:.
As long as it's cool with Leonard  that we meet up at his home   8).

Party at Leonards house!  Woohooo    :biggrin:

I think we should have kept this secret and just showed up at leonards. Ha Ha  :tounge:  Well if Leonards doesn't work I could always meet half way somewhere. I would really like to meet everyone.

We kind of have, Leonard just does not know what day we are going to show up , Thats all :laugh: .

Party ?  What ?  Who ? Where ?  Hun ??  :help:

And if Eric doesn't pick up that Quickold in Michigan  we can use it for a BBQ pit!  8)
