Hmm..like this idea....put one dollar into the coke machine and out pops a 
multi thousand dollar radio! What a deal that would be!

You know...sometimes I wonder what actually goes through some peoples minds 
to think up of using such things to house radio gear. Idiots!...Ok maybe to 
strong of a word to use. Maybe severely and extremely misinformed would work.

This using Coke machines and refriderators thing kind of could also border 
along the lines of redneck engineering too! Hahaha....like the places where you 
see toliets being used a planters, sofas and recliners on front porches being 
used as outdoor furniture .....and the list could go on and on.
