He didn't convey that to me in any form or fashion per our conversation! George if you have some criticism toward something i post please send me a PM instead of posting on thread! Thank you!

I certainly meant no criticism - I thanked you (and thank you again), and even included a "friendly face" ( :) ) to express my feelings (which can easily be misunderstood online). All is good!

Well, here’s an example of the expression “no good deed goes unpunished”. You asked if you could post pictures on the Forum, not if I had already sent the info to George. C’mon, fellow, let’s get real. Did your efforts take but a few moments? Did I ruin any of your family time?

And my answer to you, promptly, in the middle of my busy day, granting permission to post the pictures, need not have been vetted by a team of legal experts. Or maybe it should have.

There was a reason I sent the info directly to George. No need to go into that here. But I simply thought that you wanted to post pictures for all to see. Stupid me.

Eric,

There's no harm/no foul here. I wasn't going to post the photos Raphael sent, so if you hadn't done so, they wouldn't be in this thread. That's a plus. In addition, you were being helpful (even after submitting pictures of your own BS), and that's much appreciated. :)

If anyone is at fault here, it's me. I shouldn't have mentioned that Raphael had already sent the photos. Please accept my apologies, and my thanks again for your help.

George P.

I guess you didn't bother to read all of my post, so I will repeat the essential part: "I simply thought that you wanted to post pictures for all to see."

Sorry, Brandon, I don't like getting reamed out (in a public forum, nonetheless) about something that I am not guilty of.

George here is my BS. It is different in that it has a coint slot to take English pennies (half-dollar size.) The coin chute is adjustsble to accept nickles as well.

This BS also has a cash drawer and the coin drops through a funnel. The serial # is 506432. Hope this helps

Scott
