Here is what Izzy got me for my birthday. It is a 1937 Philco Radio otherwise known as 'Big Bullet.' The orignally 1937 selling price was $45. After some deep cleaning it shines like it was brand new.

Vintage Cardboard Signs
About a year ago I found these vintage cardboard lunch counter signs, for a couple dollars I couldn’t pass them up. I went ahead and framed them in white frames using mat paper.
I found yet another cool retro sign this past weekend, even though it had a little water damage I thought it had neat look.
Since all you can find at the store is white, black or brown frames I went ahead and spray painted the frame an almond shade and used brown mat paper.

Atari Flashback 2
Found this Atari Flashback game system of all places the grocery store. It includes over 40 old schools classics like Combat, Pong, Hangman, Asteroids and more. I only wish it would have included Pac Man and Donkey Kong, still worth the $20 I paid.

Coke Machine
About two weeks ago I saw this old 1950's Westinghouse Coke machine at the new antique mall in town. If and when restored it would look great in a basement bar. Restored coolers retail for around $2,900. Izzy and I went today to see if it was still available. After very little discussion she convinced me to purchase it. I ended up buying it for $165, a great bargain.

Maharishi School - Dover, Mo
This past weekend Izzy and I took a drive to Dover, Mo to see the old Maharishi Kansas City Capital of the Age of Enlightenment building that they are planning to tear down in the coming weeks. This massive structure is in the middle of nowhere. It was neat to explore, but not as cool we had hoped.
