    Congrats and Good Luck!

    My dad did a lot of large company refurbishments. Look for coins under the machines when you pull them out. Lots of BONUS Silver!



    And I'd suggest consulting with an electrician on pulling all the wire OUT. They use "Chuggers" to pull the wire in, you could use one to pull it out!
