Title: Finds of the week Post by: coke_and_stuff on September 18, 2009, 10:45:42 pm Went to the Tontitown Swapmeet today, and had a great time!!! This was my first year and I will be back there again for sure next year!
First up is a Wayne Visible I bought off a buddy of mine 6 or so months ago, I was finally able to pick it up today. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/coke_and_stuff/ebaypictures494.jpg) If you notice to the right of the visible you will see a Vendo coin changer stand. This was found at the swapmeet and with help from Tom I was able to verify what it was and buy it! Thanks Tom!

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/coke_and_stuff/ebaypictures501.jpg) As with two NOS straight from the original box RPM aviation oil cans (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/coke_and_stuff/ebaypictures502.jpg) And last my favorite a sweet Dr Pepper Clock!

Joey Title: Re: Finds of the week Post by: RC kid on September 19, 2009, 01:55:55 pm 3 hours, one way. Wow! And I was complaining about driving the two hours to Charlotte. I guess I'd better quit my complaining.
The changer stand is an amazing find, at least to me. Title: Re: Finds of the week Post by: coke_and_stuff on September 19, 2009, 06:17:09 pm Im going 6 hrs one way next month to another swapmeet, then its dead until Jan for the Its a Gas show up in MO.
Joey Title: Re: Finds of the week Post by: RC kid on September 19, 2009, 07:24:46 pm Yeah, I see your point. I need to start taking this hobby a little more seriously.

I always love spending time up in Joey's neck of the woods, there is so much good stuff around, and good shops/shows to boot! Title: Re: Finds of the week Post by: FatRavioli69 on September 20, 2009, 09:14:03 am Great Score :laugh:
