I BOUGHT THIS RARE MACHINE 10 YEARS AGO TO RESTORE  AND I COULD NOT FIND ANYONE LOCALLY TO DO THE RESTORATION FOR ME. EVERYONE WAS REALLY FAR AWAY AND I WAS NOT COMFORTABLE.  

RESTORED IT IS WORTH $7500.00 FOR THIS MACHINE.

THE MOTOR WILL COME ON ONCE IT HAS BEEN PLUGGED IN.

I MUST SELL!!!


      I'm gonna e-mail this guy and tell him SodaWorks is local and can restore it for him for
only $3500, then he can sell it for $7500 and make a quick $4 grand profit!  :biggrin:

WOW!!    I have not seen one of these rare machines since OOOOH! last WEEK.

  Glen I hope you do email this dude and let him know that you know of a great little shop that can restore it for him  8)   And if he ask you about that rare option the water fountain tell him you would take extra care of that  collectable  :biggrin:.
