I read that several times and do they mean that was the same one for pawn stars or for Rick.

No too surprising. I remember an early episode of pawn stars where Rick Dales brother sells the pawns stars a coke machine and they then take it to Rick's shop to restore it.

That's crazy huh just shows how fake tv is, have yall noticed how advertising has filtered its way into tv programs. Its all about the money kinda sickning

          Anybody who has restored a machine knows it takes months for a proper restoration, even one we are familiar with.
Rick can put out 2 every episode, no matter what the customer brings in.
Logically, juke boxes, cash registers etc. should be sent to speciallists.
          I have been told that Rick has a full restoration shop on his premises but running it must be difficult since filming takes up a lot of time.
          Heard from a member here that this show may have run it's course, that his contract was not being renewed.

          Oh that was a classic and will be in SMC's archives forever............the Vendo 39 shell transformed into a Cavalier 72!

That is correct.  I left that part out because I couldnt remember what specific model went in and what model came out. 

Still like these "set-ups" better than the fights on Hardcore Pawn though.

Yea I hate that show, would love to see Ashley get punched in the face. She is such a bitch. That voice just makes you want to poke out your ears.

I'm sure other restoration guys have been contacted as well.. I have had the show producers contact me on a few different occasions asking me if I'd be willing to take on some work for the "Usual Stuff" for Rick as he was too backed up.. They wanted me the common machines cause they said they need Rick to work on the more unusual stuff for the show to keep it interesting..

I'm sure others have been contacted as well..

I have been contacted a couple of times with rejector inquiries by a person named 'Him'.
