    Default American Restoration

    The American Restoration show on history channel is going to have a 1948 Coca Cola machine that was destroyed in the flooding from Hurricane Irene from this summer. The machine comes from the Agway down the street from me. I know a few people on here like doing restoration type stuff. It is on at 10:30 pm.

    I love the show but could never afford to have them restore anything for me. I've seen a few pieces that left with some shoddy looking work. Still, I watch every show.

    ^^ The way it should be, never having to know if customer service is great or not! Too bad it isn't that way for all companies. It makes you wonder when eveyone knows about great customer service from a company doesn't it? ^^

    I used to restore Coca cola machines before I changed positions at Coca Cola. That certainly would be a cool show for me to watch.

    Did you see the last episode?. The guy was so busy trying to show off for the camera while shooting a Ruger 10/22 and stuck his finger on the tip of the barrel and blew his thumb off. Then blamed it on the rifle as a malfunction.
