Probably I should not insinuate that you in particular are on a personal crusade to drain the US of soda machines. Its just that having grown up in what was once a very strong manufacturing part of the US and witnessed its decline since the 60s, sometimes I feel compelled to say something about exporting what is left here. Be it jobs or whatever. Many of our treasures are being bought and exported to other countries where the economy may be in better shape.Its certainly not Australia in particular which in my opinion is a wonderful country with wonderful people. Not to mention that this web sight is worldwide. Coupled with the latest trend of Flippers/Carpetbaggers crashing into our hobby here, sometimes I feel the need to speak up.I know in my head I should'nt try to push the river, but sometimes my heart takes over. Certainly for lots of guys, they will be happy to make a few bucks and will strap anything to a pallet and send it off. I get it. Money talks. Always has.
