My wife said if I bought one more machine she was going to leave me. I did. She did. No problems now.  Just bought another Stoner and really cool 1930's traffic light… |

You guys are cracking me up!!! My wife is unlike any of the typical wives, I must admit. she loves the Pepsi 56 ST she has, although I have three and a half machines in the garage at the moment, hoping to get rid of one soon. My wife does not shop for the usual shoes, jewelry, clothes or the like, so that makes it difficult to persuade in that regard. For me, what it really boils down to, is how many projects I currently have going, Coke machine or otherwise, the bills being paid, and how much it costs along with where it is. I'd say I'm pretty lucky in that she lets me get the things I want. I just have to be realistic in getting them and not get so far behind that I'll never get to them or do anything with them.

My wife is also fine with the hobby and tells me about machines she'll run across.

What a great question, This is the same as the Q from her "do i look fat in this dress?" guys that is a deffinate loss as theres no real good answer,This is a dilemina i've had for many years as i have collected Budweiser steins and clocks and other things as well as gumball machines (which are hidden)mostly, I tell her its an investment for our golden years since taxes go up and stocks go down but collectables only go up, I tell her that everytime she sees my coke machine and coolers in the garage. Try it but never answer the fat Q, and by the way its actually cheaper in the the long run to keep her.

Nice of you to get her something she likes Brian! The other issue shouldn't be hard to resolve. |

Brian,
Just out of curiosity, do you mind if I ask what you paid for that register? We have one we're about to put up for auction and was just curious what they're selling for these days. Thanks.
Ken
