Machine collections for TV.

It be nice to know where a lot of stuff ends up! I do understand privacy because I don't really want anyone knowing what I have collected.

I'm not really clear on this. Is the Tavernette a coin operated vendor?

[sc1101]

Yes it is coin operated and you crank the handle to dispense the Coca Cola. Here is video below. I'm just a little in love with this machine.

Wow. I take it that the first video is " as found" from the Schmidts, an earlier restoration.
Do you know what it sold for at their sale? I like those early machines.

Cool machine !!!

But on the collectors topic . I would love to let people see my stuff just like Seth said . I don't have nearly the cool perfect stuff a lot of others have , but it was a blast getting what I got . And it's fun telling the story to others when they stop in at a garage sale the wife has .

I agree I wouldn't want them giving my location away or  address . But other then that I'm good with it .

Ditto Seth and Leonard I like showing my stuff to other collectors that's why I am doing the country store to showcase some go my stuff. We have also decided that the store won't have enough room for those big machines so we are doing a diner theme and game room in the other building  I just love this old stuff and the history.

Thanks all !!
Best to start with the web page. Anyone that wants to share. Send whatever you want to say and a couple of pics or short video for starters. Will check any photos for geo tag. Best if no cell phone photos/vids. I'll need to build server links for first batch by hand. Anyone knows a web page guru in need of work let me know. This one is easy just submission form attach/photo's/vids and such.

Send to: cjs@lost-coast-designs.com

Suspect this will never make it past a web page. There is nothing to sell=why bother.
Hope can just have kind folks showing off cool stuff. Will see how it goes.

I like this thread from HAMB. Just great fun looking at items and wondering where they went:

        Just my input on the collectors privacy issue.

        I see nothing wrong with featuring interesting collections on television.
        Who says they must disclose real names or locations?
        There are many "made for TV" collections around the country and many of them are owned by members right here on SMC.
        Considering the research and history each guy has already aquired on his own stuff and is willing to share with us.....
 it sure would make the production cost of a T.V. series a lot less expensive.
        As an example: I heard there is a guy in Florida that has an awesome collection of early candy and cigarette machines that would fill an entire TV episode of 'collectors'.  
I for one would record it!
