Hello Everyone:
This is our first newletter, so lets see how this goes.
Janet and I are attending the Chicagoland Coin-Op show this November. We will be bringing a lot of Fun-Tronics items with us, and also a lot of our Licensed Coca-Cola decals. We would be glad to take orders before the show, and deliver them to the show. This would save our customers on shipping. We would love to meet everyone. It is always nice to put a face with a name. We would also be open for new product ideas that are not currently being produced.
One new item that we do have, and should have with us at the show is the new Vendo 81 "Have A Coke" medallion. This is a licenced product that is exclusive to Fun-Troncis only. We will be offering both versions, the green and the white, and these are very close to the originals.
Come see us at our booth we will be having some show specials also. Also remember to order before the show and save on shipping.
We look foward to meeting everyone at the show. I will post our booth space later on.

Yes it is. Have been outbid on a few good orginals at $250 +. Hard part to find. Hope the new ones are "Have a Coke" and not "Ice Cold"

Creighton In a previous post above Fun-Tronics says their medallion says 'Have A Coke". |

I talked with Janet at Funtronics, ordered some parts and the shipping time was like the old Funtronics, A.S.A.P!!! These people are on the ball. Steve said to me there new place is State of the art, first class all the way! He said WOW you wouldn't beleve there set up. Sounds like the new owners mean business. Thanks for keeping Funtronics alive and strong.

Eric: I have been giving this some thought, and also have a few other ideas on this. Give me a call at the Fun-Tronics number (217)857-1759 and tell Janet that you want to speak to Rod about this gasket. Rod (Fun-Tronics) I'll be at the show and will stop by and beg you to reproduce the Quikold gaskets! PLEASE!!!! See you there! |

Hello Eric: I have not found a sample of the gasket that you are looking for. Have you had any luck coming up with a piece? If I get a piece of it I should be able to get it made. Let me know if you have any luck.  Hope you have a great Holiday !!! Rod |

I'm pretty sure, but not 100%, that my Grapette Standard has the origonal gaskets. If need be I could always try to take off one side. I just don't want to tear anything up in the process.
