Thanks guys for helping out... This is awesome... is either you guys (Pat and Tim)
going to the Chicago Coin Op showin November?... I"m coming for sure... gotta drop off my 56
I'm gonna have them send the opener so I can get it chromed with some other parts.
They said they could tarp it till Novemebr for me so if one of you guys could swing by before
coming to the show? Let me know what we could work out.. If not I can just road trip it's somethig nlike 5 hours.. And he's suppose to have a heck of a collection of Gas/Oil collection It's
Cheese who has it many of you guys may know who he is.... Seems to be a great guy.
The opener is a blank Quikold version....
compressor's missing, the lids are a little beat up and they welded hooks on each end to hoist
into the barn loft after use.... he also said there are a couple .22 holes in each end but nothing
serious..... They got it in a gamp pump collection deal it was up in the loft
and from the looks the rope must have broke a couple times
The plan is to grind the hooks back off... fill the holes remove both end
cut the base down to the size of a junior and possably the tub too depending on condition....
take the junior sides and lid I have and the extra cap catcher and make a Orange Squeese junior.
Can't tell from their images if the letters have much character... look just like squared off letters
but hopefully I can make it pretty cool looking.... We'll see...
