Was wondering if anyone found anything this weekend.
I went to check out a reply on my want ad...Dr Pepper
cooler turned out to be a Artkraft 101 just had one sign
on the side. Looked to much like a deep freezer so I passed
then stoped at a Antique store that had a square top Cavalier
it was the size of the little Vendo 56 but they were asking $375 for it. I still can't see paying that for a square top yet.
It needed to be restored. The Dr Pepper sign was kinda cool
it was the 10, 2 & 4 but was reversed in color than what shows in the book. the round part was dark red with white
numbers. Oh well.... next weekend I travel to the other side of Missouri to check out the 23 spin tops and a 4' tall square top Pepsi at some Fire Station.
Anyone do better (hopefully).......

I spent the week-end at the races. the Nextel cup series was here in california this week-end and I had the oppurtunity to experience the races from the infield terrace suite's pit boxes. Am I bragging, you bet it was awesome!! ( I'm a diehard Jimmie Johnson fan) I did have a couple of telephone leads this weekend that I will be following up on. Terry

How much has everyones ad cost them. I have also been doing the small papers but today I called the main paper here in Cincinnati and it was $68 for two weeks to run an ad. I laughed and hung up.

Yeah the main papers cost big $$$. The little ad I run is about $26 for 4 weeks.
I spend that in gas just running around finding nothing. I spent about $60 on
an ad about 3 years a go but got 2 39s out of it.... But times have changed.
Unless some eldery person picks up one of these free papers I run an ad in
I find nothing.... round tops are rare to get a call on anymore..... But I
always hope.
There's gotta be a Pepsi/7up 81 out there for me! After that I have
promised my wife I'm done.... But ....then there's always these little square tops
that I'm getting interested in... I'll blame that on you square top guys!

Eric,
I don't think any of us will ever be "done" collecting machines. As for advertising for machines I have found that word of mouth is usually my best connection. Everyone I know know's what I collect and when they see something locally or on a road trip they keep me posted. This has worked well for me. Terry

hi,
I got a call on Friday. It was a guy who told me he has a 50`s
Coke machine (I started an ad on the blackboard at Shoppers). It was an unrestored 70`s Cavalier - not working.
He wanted 1200 $!!!!!!! Restored it goes for more than 3000!!!!!!!!! Very funny  '>
