Finally getting around to posting the pictures of a few nice finds I got over the last few days.
Funny How I put my mind to something and sooner or later I manage a way to put it in my collection.
Last week , I was looking for parts for my U-Select-it machine, then searched the Minneapolis Craigslist for Coin Op stuff and this Machine popped up at a Garage sale. Guy wasnt' going to hold it for me said I need to get over there with cash, well he was 2 hours from me and wasn't going till Monday. he sent me a photo and new I had to have it. Luckily he did not sell it in the garage sale and I picked up it up for $75.00!!! and it's complete.
No I can finish the other one and sell it.. The blue one I had repainted, the tan one is the one I just picked up...

Nice machines!  I'm trying to get my paws on one of those right now.  I think the wife has given the preliminary OK.  I've been eyeballing a couple on ebay to see how high they go.  I guess shipping is the big thing I have to factor in to how much I'll pay.  Sure wish one of those would pop up here close to home!!

I had a small U Select It shipped to me for $100.00 by UPS.  That was before the gas prices skyrocketed.  It's under their 100 pound limit.

That sounds reasonable...when one of the folks selling one asked about shipping the machine to me in TX at the UPS Store, he was quoted $48 to box it and at least $150 to ship it!    wow
