Title: A few thing's found
Post by: Pat Pixley on August 02, 2009, 06:56:07 pm
 My wife and I left town Thursday afternoon and hit Mackinaw City  about 8 PM
 A few stops in between :wow: .  the next day we did some driving around  and hit a
REAL COOL JUNK STORE (His saying is  IT'S NOT JUNK IF IT
FITS IN YOUR TRUNK ) I like that.   anyways Way to much cool stuff to list Right when you walk it there stands two Gas pumps  restored $1200 ea. The wife would have killed me :oh: there was a bar there that  had the rolled a tucked leather on it with matching  stools
 old lanterns , signs and old fishing stuff there was Just a ton stuff.

 He did have a few machines at this shop he said  and a few more over in his barn .

  I did buy a gum ball machine for $20  ,  so I will need to pick some mind on this .

Pat,
I stopped at that store the last time I was up there and unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your point of view) it was not open.

I will have to try the next time I get north.

         Hi, Pat  :smile:


                        Let See ? Was that a Vendo 90 ?? It Looks like it was burnt inside ? I'd think no more the $25-$50 Bucks

Was the Slider Complet ? Was it Embossed ?? Was It a 35-55 ?   85 to big .

And The gum It looks like the ones you see in the stor now $10 -$15 at most

Good Questions Leonard,
The Vendo 90  just the light box was burned out and the wiring was shot .
The Ideal Slider was a 55 and missing the normal stuff
rack , coin mech & the line cord was cut off.

  And you just killed me on the Gum ball machine I paid $20 for it  :down:.
