I'll take two cheeseburgers and a Coke to go.



You are welcome at our home anytime. I can certainly come up with the cheeseburgers and coke. Throw in a batch of fries.

It did not happen all at once. Been working on it for about 7 years. It is always a work in progress and always evolving. I have a few more "ideas" that will make my wife shake her head and roll her eyes. So far, the most expensive part is the pump restore and the 1957 coke machine restore, both I did myself. I really try to do things in the most cost effective way. I have a fixed income budget. It is why my friends call me "Cheap Bob." Other than that, most of it is just plain hard work and man hours.

1947 Chicago Coin Kilroy. It was mess with I got it. Had to replace some of the solenoids. The originals were hard to find. The play field was in good shape and the back glass shows some wear but I left it in as original condition as possible.
