Title: Parts comparison... Post by: Bigtonka on October 02, 2013, 08:14:50 pm Vendo gurus -
I have a few parts to buy for my Vendo 39 - until now I've been looking exclusively at Fun Tronics, but recently looked up the same parts on Soda Work Jerks.... In some cases, there are significant price differences - for example, the main door seal. At SWJ - it's $29, and at Fun Tonics - $45 Anyone know from experience? Getting what I paid for? Thanks!

I use both .. Title: Re: Parts comparison... Post by: ZiaDan on October 03, 2013, 11:26:15 am I personally prefer Soda Jerk Works, quality products and much better customer service.

Going back to the OP, unless you hear back from anyone saying "the part from vendor X works better than the part from Vendor Y" - I would order from whomever is less expensive. I haven't seen anything to the contrary, so in this case I would go with the less expensive piece. Jim Title: Re: Parts comparison...

You can't go wrong with either place. I've gotten excellent service and great parts. Title: Re: Parts comparison... Post by: Bigtonka on October 04, 2013, 04:01:04 pm Thanks for all the great input. I shall be ordering from both!
