Nice find Pat! That's one peice that I'm actively looking for right now. I want to use one for my Vendo Coin Changer. I've also got my eye on a mounting plate for it on Ebay right now.

Do those plates really weigh around 50 pounds? If so, shipping is gonna kill me!  '>

[Eric]

They weigh a ton! sandblast that thing and paint 'er up, get a pipe threaded for it and
sit back and wait for a coin changer or even a set of drive in speakers! Can't beat free
on something cool like that!

I always stop and peek in dumpsters especially if they are in front of old buildings. It can be exciting taking that first peek over the top. I often call myself a "dumpster diver" since I will jump right in if I see something decent (or non decent) in some cases, I just can't seem to allow something to get thrown away, never to be seen again, if it has some age and is some what collectible to me. Luckly I haven't been caught, although they are throwing it out. Saved some old tire signs and other old stuff from an tire shop/gas station being gutted, contacted the owner (executor) and she said they were getting money for the "scrap value" of the material, I tried to get her permission to go through the dumpsters every now & then but she seemed to think all the old equipment is better scraped and really didn't say I could. I still stop by when no one is present--can help myself, seems like such a waste. I did give her my number and asked her not to throw out signs and such. I have to watch it since the owner has just passed away, and its an emotional time, might over do it.      Am I wrong??

[SIGNGUY]

Too bad the Police signs weren't in tact... they are worth a pretty penny, or a soda machine or two if in good shape... Obviously all shot up not much however.
HMMM city officials shooting at Cops??? and we wonder why the world is the way it is???

[Pat Pixley]

THey don't really wiegh that much maybe 50 pound.
 And I do have the Drive -In  speakers  , The photo
 did not show the  caster , I just have to replace them
 their shot  Maybe a good weekend projected.
