Here that they are closing their doors

I Heard two weeks ago that Back in Time Warehouse is Going to Close. I thought something might be wrong when I went to the Show in Hershey and they were a No Show. I had talked to their secretary at Barsandbooths earlier and I was to meet them at the Show to possibly buy a Juke Box. The Day before the Show - bitw canceled and lost their deposit on their booth. I have a Friend of a Friend who says he has been waiting on something they are supposed to be doing for him for 8 months and it still has not showed. No one seems to be there when you try to call them that knows anything and I understand that all their staff has quit. Does anyone know anything about this.  

What is up with their specials and clearance Items on their website and why are their dates on the site from October.

My brother called them several weeks ago to buy a soda machine and they said that a soda machine would be a 7 month wait and they had nothing in stock. The guy on the phone thought my brother needed a part or something as well over the phone and went in to a fit over the phone about how they do not produce parts or something. They are not able to buy parts anymore , cut off or something.

I talked to a man at the show that said he has had trouble getting them to fix something on his machine.

Two weeks ago - their Stoner Candy Machine restorations were on Ebay - for sale outside their company - LOOK IT UP- under stoner candy machine completed auctions!

You can tell the photos are the same as on the memory lane blvd site.

I have worked with Curtis a few times and he is a great guy. He is how I was able to build the Frosty Root Beer machine. Without him I would not have been able to get it done.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Josh, your Frostie machine turned out great and it's nice to be able to help you guys get some CQQL stuff on the web. Look on E-bay later this week under Stoner Candy. Do I ever have a one off piece to show you. This machine has been sold to a great guy in NJ and would have been on display at the Hershey Gameroom Show, I was there with the great Steve Ebner of Funtronics. He was kind enough to let me hang out in his booth for the day, Even brought home two Stoners to restore for an old customer. What a great show! Next year I will be there as www.memorylanerestorations.com. Thanks again and look for the cool one of a kind restoration next week on E-bay under Stoner Candy. It will give you guys some ideas. I love this business! Thanks.

I too have called Curtis on numerous occasions when restoring a Stoner Jr. I was totally impressed with his knowledge and willingness to help me out. Curtis is without a doubt the go-to man for Stoner's, he really knows his stuff!! Curtis I'm glad to see you venturing out on your own, you'll be very successful in your endeavors. I will be restoring another Stoner in the very near future and will be buying all my parts from you and picking your brain for more info. Did you ever get the photo's of the white Jr. from a couple of months back. I would really like to see them as I plan on painting mine white. Thanks Terry@Sodaworks. '>
