Title: Re: motherload Post by: Eric on September 03, 2015, 08:39:11 am Northwesterns... call Roger at www.crowriver.com - He may know who makes them or who could.
Nice find... the model 49 uses a glass globe. He also sells the globes and decals. Title: Re: motherload Post by: genudoc on September 03, 2015, 09:27:34 am thanks
he was first place I looked He has none and on site said he does not know of any repros made I was hoping that someone who made replacements in past would have a contact and I may make a run of them Kinda like what was done with some of the popcorn machines in the past Title: Re: motherload Post by: aristocrat on September 03, 2015, 10:52:41 am hi,
i enquired with roger about x12 months ago for replacement globes for the stick version of the tab machine, [sorry dpont know codes] he told me then the same eg no repro globes & that he had a waiting list of customers for any original used globes in good condition that he came across. at the time i had a lead on a couple of stick version units but they all had badly damaged perspex globes so passed on them. someone was selling on ebay the top perspex new old stock a while ago regards GP Title: Re: motherload Post by: Eric on September 03, 2015, 01:25:02 pm Talk with Rod at Funtronics... he is the one who had the popcorn globes made.. maybe he can give you direction.. good luck.
Title: Re: motherload Post by: HowDueYouDue on September 03, 2015, 06:53:10 pm Was going to say to try a guy in Hudson Valley on Craigslist that is selling a bunch of northwesterns and parts. I see the ad is down and given your location it's probably who you bought them from :)
Good score Title: Re: motherload Post by: genudoc on September 04, 2015, 05:19:50 pm correct
lots of parts short on globes Looks like I will try to get in the globe repro business Title: Re: motherload Post by: Creighton on September 05, 2015, 12:41:17 am Regret can't tell what size/shape is needed. If it is a match to a visible fuel pump vendors over on oldgas.com may be able to help. Some have had success at Hobby Lobby/Michaels craft stores with the glass vases used for flower decorations cut down. The local glass shop may be of some help as well. Believe some matches for such things have been found in the fish tank part of the pet stores.
Hope something turns up. Creighton |
