thought i would share my recent find! i dont have a digital camera or know how to post pictures but i'll tell the story.
a guy i work with told me about three months ago that his brother inlaw had a old electric pump on the farm that they did not use any more. i asked him to find out if he wanted to sell it and if so how much. ( ok so i bugged him for three months) any way he finally said he would sell it for 50.00 dollars but he did not know what kind it was .
we finally got together today to go look at it. when we pulled into the farm i could see a bowser 585 setting out back.
we got out and introductions were made and we stood around b.s. for awhile , the whole time i'm trying to check out the bowser.
finally he asked if i wanted to go look at the pump , so i followed him out . and he walked right past the bowser said he was still using that one .
we walked out to a old dump and he pointed to a spot in the corner and said there it is .
i could hardly contain myself when i saw it. a tokheim 36b ! it was in very good condition, missing only a few parts.
well it looks like i have a good winter project .
thats kind of a long story but i thought i would share . i really like to read some of the stories on this site
everybody have a merry christmas
dave
p.s. i told the guy to call me when the bowser gives out!
