Kampcool's Millipede
« on: June 13, 2011, 05:47:07 pm »
    Ok guys, this one was kind of an impulse gamble, as the owner didnt know much about machines, knew it worked, knew it was valuable, AND LIVED A STATE AWAY (Pick-up ONLY deal).....   So, I rolled the dice, fired up the pickup, and started on my 500 mile journey.  When I was close, I phoned the seller, and by goodness if he didnt tell me they had a power outage.  I was thinking, "What are the odds: Is this machine in worse shape than advertised"?  So I am beside myself in being fooled, when I pulled in, and low and behold Consumers Power were working on a pole.   
 
    So, I still couldnt test the machine working as advertised, I asked if I could at least see the inside.   I had to physically knash my teeth to keep my jaw from dropping.

  Here are some pictures of the exterior, and why I made the gamble.  We wanted this one in our collection, and do not have to look anymore.

Moving this over to restorations, as I need to do a rollerball restore (original works, but could be better- bearings are a lil chuncky), and some minor cosmetic lipstick stuff/missing the coin bucket.   :cheers:
