The group photo is precious. I particularly like the expresso machine on wheels, center stage.

Re: International Marriage Brokerage Bureau
Once they have it up and running, it will be interesting to see how the automaton works. The picture of the mechanism shows only a mechanical card dispenser, no linkage to the scene at the top of the machine. I'm assuming it is all mechanical. Pictures! I want more pictures.

Re: Brenner "Ball Past The Arrow"
Just a thought, Aaron. These machines would be designed to accept the British 1D coin which is similar in size but thinner than the US fifty cent piece. If you are are using the half-dollars, that might be the problem. You can easily source the old British penny on Ebay. You might want to give it a ...

Scrolling through the Bilotta web site, the ticket prices seem rather steep for the demonstrated items. I think your collection is better, Tim.

Re: Operator dilemma: old Pennies or Tokens?
An interesting project, Pauljt71. On the subject of patrons pocketing your coins, I wonder if one that has a hole in the middle would be more theft proof? It resembles a slug more than a commercial coin and thereby has less appeal. Just a thought.

Re: 100+ Japanese vending machines

They could take a lesson from America where you have a 25% chance of the machine just stealing your money, or the product hanging up, forc...
