Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

I think I'll have to change my logon ID, from Ideal-Bob to Slider-Bob. Jim...is that possible?
Seems like many people refer to me as Slider-Bob instead of Ideal-Bob (Pat, Johnie G), since I deal with mostly with sliders.
I don't really care either way...just nice to be called out as something either way.
Johnie G...you're right...I should have negotiated a trip to Japan to ensure it arrived safely. Let's hope it does!
Pic's coming tomorrow night. Heading to Grand Rapids, Mich tomorrow AM to pick up another slider....It never gets old!

I emptied out the bottle caps before I shipped it, but I swear I emptied it last month!
OK...2 months ago!

Awesome story of cooperation, guys. Situations like this are why this group is the absolute pinnacle of friendship and teamwork. Well done!
Oh yeah, Rick's Restorations would've made a whole episode on this one... Charged Vendo $5000 for the restoration, told them it was now worth $7500, and then insisted he fly it over to Japan, 1st class, on the new 787 Dreamliner built for ANA. He would be in one seat and the machine in the other.
