>>they wanted me to restore machines for Rick's show

That is funny. Did you get a reason why they weren't using Rick by any chance?
Seeing's how its his show and all :-)

The show producers called and asked if I would be interested in taking on some of the overflow.. as they wanted him to focus on alot of the unusual stuff to make the show more interesting, rather than one soda machine after another.. but their expectations where unrealistic... They still call me occassionally to see if I have anything they might want to buy for a show, or parts on occassion as well.  I've only sold them the Pair of VMC 27's so far that they used on the show a year or so ago..

Ha, no.. they bought two machines from me .. I was selling them on my website as a pair with enough parts from both to make one complete one.. the one they used on the show I believe was missing one door and the bottle drum, which the other machine had... and they then made up back story and created "REALITY TV".. makes sense right..

Reality is just a perception... just ask a democrat for their opinion and you will see!!
