Gotcha by almost 10 years- - - - -74 is coming up in April, but I started early- - - - -the first things I got paid to fix was a bunch of bubble gum machines, about 100 of them, that my grandfather bought to put on his vending machine route. They were dirty and needed a good cleanup of the coin mechanism. He paid me $1.00 apiece to get them working. For a 12 year old kid in middle school, that was big money compared to cutting the neighbor's grass every couple of weeks! I've been fixing something or other ever since!
