Home movie of an automat


Tavie sez, "My uncle has been going crazy lately uploading old home movies to Youtube. This one blew me away- I'd forgotten about the old automat, our favorite place to go to. We'd pop in change, open the door and take out slices of pie and sandwiches. This short clip shows my cousin Adam buying his own meal. It all seemed so magical and somehow 'futuristic' back then - and now, so old-fashioned. (The very last frame shows me at age 8 enjoying my spoils.)" Link (Thanks, Tavie!)
