Roll Call for Chicago Show

[Crazzy Canuck]

Does Kane County Fairgrounds still have a 2/3 day show before Chicago land or is that wahsed up? Haven't been in years.
 Can't make it again as I'm booked for jobs til Feb. as it stands now. Lots of play money for April
My father I believe is going so he can pick up some machines for me I have to check with him to confirm first.

 Anyone sees/finds a leather carrying case for the glascock salesman sample phone me. I can PM my cell# to anyone before they go if interested.

I don't think I've ever seen an unresored RC81, but I'd snap it up up in a heartbeat if I ever did

Ditto...I think all three of the Rich Penn RC81's are un-restored. I am going to have to find someone that doesn't know what they have as I really have a hard time paying $10k for a machine. Many other things in life are much more important to me.

I guess I am pretty luck have seen several just didnt feel right dropping 10 and 11k on a pop machine, they where not nice enough to leave unrestored.  So it would have cost that plus the restoration.

[SIGNGUY]

yeah,
I believe the ones in the auction are all unrestored originals, all look pretty nice too..
I signed up for the auction , just for fun... I have a client looking for a 7up too and there are couple of those.. so might be bidding for him? who knows..

I wonder how many of these machines will show up in Chicago this year? hmmm

I know where two very nice original RC 81's are here in Cincinnati. Two of my friends have them in their collections. One of them was found in the back of his neighbors garage. It was buried behind all of their stuff and you could just barely see it. The owner had no idea what it was and sold it to him for next to nothing.

Crazy Cannuck,

Yes, the Kane County Show is still happening. I haven't been to either of the two shows in two years. Going to Kane County is more of a ritual for me than anything, it's not the best and you typically aren't going to find anything earth shattering there but.......I can't help myself!!

I've only seen 1 RC 81 in person and it's un-restored and in "excellent" condition.

[SIGNGUY]

I too have only seen one in person, nice original if I recall...

Pat, did you still want to get that machine to my booth space to sell?  Not a problem, just gotta figure out how you can get it there.. call me later.
