WTB Gumball/ Candy machines
« on: February 26, 2004, 12:55:16 pm »
Ok so it's time to formally introduce myself to all you guys around here.

My name is ED O'Neill.... I buy, sell, and trade gum/ candy machines.If you are intrested in doing any of those things send me an email.

 I am currently working on setting up a deal with a 50/60's website ..They want to buy fully restored machines in bulk 20 plus units at a time.

Also If you know where I can get some machines or parts please email me. I am looking and prefer to  buy in quantity . There is a finders fee involved. SO check your local papers and let me know if you find anything

Thanks
ED

Zaak,
Your the guy who told me about someone selling northwester 60's right ?

I did send you an email back, but my computer started screwing up a lot last week and it crahed and now it won't boot up.

So somehow someway you didn't get it...I am sorry  beleive me I appreciate the email but I have a lot of those machines probably 30 in shop right now.

BTW - I am looking for older ones that vend for 10 cents and under.

Again I am sorry for the confusion

Signed

Ah, okay good, I figured as much about the newer machines, but I figured I'd ask you first.  Now get your computer running right :)

Please don't get me wound up again about this damn computer.....

I bought my laptop last year because I was going to be in the hospital for 5-8 weeks (bone marrow transplant). Anyways I hardly used it until christmas when I decided to give my son my old desktop and then I would build a new one for mame.

So anyways I  bought a 3 year warranty and I took it to BB and they said it was a spftware problem , and suggested I call HP well I go through the whole story with the tech at HP and then 20 minutes into the conversation the guy asks when I bought it and i told him jan 2003  he then said that they only offer one year tech support on software...go figure. Now I have to call microsoft and see what I can get out of them.

I read the manual and there is a way to restore the machine so it wwill boot up ....but I will lose all my hardrive info , If I give it to BB they will do it but it will cost me at least 60 bucks

So yea runnig this old 450 mhz sucks to say the least

Wow, that does suck...call HP back and tell them you bought it in April 2004!! Or tell him there is a burning smell coming out of it, and maybe while he's trying to figure out what's wrong he'll accidentally help you with your software issue!! Good luck with it :)
