Interesting web site. I noticed a couple misspelled words.
Maybe some of my talent can work with some of your talent? -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Jeff" wrote in message 8... I've listed a couple of unusual home repair businesses at www.500ways.com. If you have ideas for others, please let me know. Thanks, - Jeff |

You hear about the guy who pulled into "Topless gas" cause
his car was low. A minute later, an old grumpy sailor walked out, with anchor tattooed on one arm, MOTHER on other arm. Chomps on his cigar, walks over, and says "Whadaya want?" Sailor isn't wearing a shirt. Like Cheech and Chong quote "false advertising". -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Oren" wrote in message ...

I'd be more worried about hand held video things,
than pinball machines. Children now days don't give a hoot about coin op juke boxes. Not an issue, here. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org ..

Oh, I do suppose you mean "electro-mechanical" they were made from the 1930's to the late 1970's. Big difference over the years. I have worked on some that are strictly mechanical also, quite rare. If I run into a really good deal I may buy it and sell it "as is". No one wants to pay me for all the time I put into a machine with a warranty. |

I just got a call from a customer in Princeton, NJ. Asking if I can fix his antique juke box next time I'm up in PA visiting family. I only charge the travel time from where I am in PA to the job, he'll pay about $250 for me to get to his front door and back, plus the repair. Funny thing is he wasn't my customer when I lived in PA, he found me after I moved down here in TN. |

Now, that sounds like a good memory. There is a machine
place about half hour drive from me. A couple decades ago, I saw they had a warehouse full of retro machines. I wonder if they are still in business, and if they still have old machines.

Hey, you wouldn't be profiling, now, would you? You want to
be careful with that. Next thing you know, we'll be asking Hispanics at the border (carrying suitcases, clothes, and jugs of water) their immigration status. And we'll be asking Muslim males between the age of 17 and 45 if they are carrying knives or bombs onto air planes. Glad you are able to combine trips, and save you and the customer some time and money. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Tony Miklos" wrote in message ...

The EXIT signs at my church are ancient, like the rest of
the building. Turns out the #259 bulbs (about 6 volts, and look like the little push in bulbs from a car side marker light) are sold to pinball and game machine people. I ordered a bunch off Ebay. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Steve Barker" wrote in message ... yes, i meant electro-mechanical.
