Hi guys. I am doing great! I am living in Orlando Fl and got married about 3 years ago to my elementary and high school sweetheart. I am working as an engineer at a company named Sterile Environment Technologies here in Orlando consulting in cooling, Filtration and design of Clean rooms and data centers. I love my job and life is good. I am not collecting at the moment as we still live in an apartment however we are looking to buy a house soon so I hope that is fixed soon. I miss the soda machine hobby but from what I have seen recently the TV shows have ruined the ability to buy inexpensive machines. Everything in this area that I have seen are priced way out of their actual value. Have you noticed the same?
How are all of you? I really miss collecting and sharing my pics with all of you. I never realized how wonderful this forum was. I started getting into some car forums and all they are is a bunch of immature guys bickering over who has the best car and picking on the newcomers for not completely knowing the lingo. I can't wait to have a garage again and fill it with rusted metal again
If anyone is looking for a easy jukebox project the machine I posted above is a rare treasure. Its one of the most solid survivors I have ever seen and I have had a bunch of jukes in the past. even the selection keys look like new although they are original. even the original speaker that has not been redone is perfect. Some veneer, paint and some TLC will make this juke perfect and make some good money. My dad would restore it to sell it but he just moved home from Singapore and has no tools and no space to build it. He is also running his companies in Asia remotly from Indianapolis so he doesn't have a lot of time. This is a really good deal. As I said in the ad the chrome has either been redone in the past and done very very well or is just flawless original. That is 60% of the cost of a Seeburg restoration so it already has a huge head start. The phone number I posted is my fathers cell phone so you can call him direct.
