Recall the old saying that I would not touch that with a ten foot pole. Well I did. My first water machine was a Freedom 2 with a weighted coil, 12 foot coil wire and a ten foot pole. My scoop was made from a juice can with both ended removed, a pipe clamp for a handle with mess chicken wire affixed to one end of the can. It lasted for about a dozen scoops and I had to make a new scoop. Had to go under water and scoop while at the same time hold the pole upright so that the detector wouldn't take a splash. A feat. By the way I think it was quite a few years later that I brought my first real water machine which was a heavy Seahunter XL500 if I remember correctly. With it also purchased a stainless steel scoop that I still use to this day....once the ice leaves ! Be safe all!

How much the machine was costing at that time. And what years was it.
