SMC Members Helping Each Other

[mznb1u]

A while back, Josh (loman4ec) bought a transitional VMC in Michigan that he needed picked up and stored for a bit.  I picked it up and a few months later delivered it to Brian (Seven181) for eventual delivery to Josh.

I have been looking for a Victor C-45 for a while to use as a bar in my basement.  Josh knew I was looking for one and a couple months back, he located one near Dayton, OH.  Working complete (except for one cap catcher and opener) embossed C-45.  Josh put me in touch with the seller and I cut the deal.

Josh and Brian agreed to help with the pick up.  Unfortunately, something came up and Josh was not available so Brian did the pick-up.  Today, he delivered my machine from South of Dayton, OH to my doorstep about 20 miles northwest of Ann Arbor, MI.

This is what makes this site great - - SMC Members helping each other out!

THANKS Josh for finding the machine and checking it out! 

and THANKS Brian for making the pick-up and delivery! I owe you big time!

PS--Tomorrow I will attempt to add casters--any advice/pointers out there from someone who has done it?  Also, I am now in need of a cap catcher and opener for this machine--preferrably white but red will do!

Good deal Tim

Regarding the casters, I'd put them on the bottom of the machine

Glad you finally got your Victor Tim! I love the smell of Victor's in the morning! [Robt. Duvall in Apocolypse Now]

Jim--thanks for the "expert" advice! 

Was not able to locate casters with enough of a load rating today.    Grainger is not open on Saturday but they have what I need.

Having a big machine in the driveway and a storm on the way was motivation enough to clean up at least about half of the garage.  I picked up a couple of dolly's from Costco until I get the wheels--then I will return the dollys--I love their return policy.

Looks like a couple of the levelers have broken off over the years so I will have to Liquid Wrench them and then use a back out drill.  There are 6 places for levelers/casters so once the wheels have been installed it should be pretty easy to move around.

I will post more pictures when I get it cleaned up.  I think it will polich up rather nicely and be a user until I get the cash for a total resto!

Thanks again Josh and Brian!
