Title: Fun-Tronics At Chicago Show Post by: Funtronics on November 17, 2008, 05:02:33 pm WOW !!!!
Thats all I can say about the show. Janet and I enjoyed meeting everyone. We were very pleased with how everyone was so nice to us. We have always set up at the show, but never with a business like this. Janet will be busy for a week filling orders. It's great to put a face with a name. I did get a chance to shop the parking lot at 4:00 am in the morning. I picked up a nice counter top Glascock cooler and a Vendo 23 Deluxe. There wasn't as many machines as usual, but a lot of other neat items. I came real close to buying that Mills 47, but it looked like a real project that would have taken a lot of time and money to get back to original state. I took several pictures of Janet and I set up at the show. The last picture shows John trying to get a discount on his parts. HA !! HA !! Again we really enjoyed meeting everyone, and are really looking forward to the next show. :biggrin: Title: Re: Fun-Tronics At Chicago Show Post by: SIGNGUY on November 17, 2008, 05:25:38 pm :laugh:
The Best part of that Photo was that Rod had to retake it 3 times... so I got to hug Janet 3 times to get just the right photo!!!! :biggrin: :blush: What Great people... Can't wait to make my next order and speak with them again! Title: Re: Fun-Tronics At Chicago Show Post by: RC kid on November 17, 2008, 06:46:52 pm I am looking forward to placing an order with you shortly. I need a few things for a Standard and a Vendo 39.
When will you have your web site up and running? Title: Re: Fun-Tronics At Chicago Show Post by: Funtronics on November 17, 2008, 07:37:19 pm The web sight should be up in a week or two. The web designer is still working on the catalog part yet. Look for it soon !! 8)
Title: Re: Fun-Tronics At Chicago Show Post by: collecture on November 17, 2008, 07:53:45 pm I have it bookmarked already - can't wait to see it! I think Steve missed out on a lot of sales by not having one, so I'm glad you two a going to have one up and running.
Good Luck! Title: Re: Fun-Tronics At Chicago Show Post by: coke_and_stuff on November 17, 2008, 08:40:32 pm Mills 47 any pictures?? Im very so much looking forward to your website.

Rod Could you let me in on the Glascock Counter top ?? Maybe a Pic ?? And What was the asking Price ?? I also have one & have'nt really any Ideal what there getting for them ? I restored mine & it has 2 of the original sign's in it . By the Way Rod I was talkng with you when the Guy showed you pictures of a Scale he was selling & you went to look at it .Did You offer anthing on it ? Leonard ( Ltransam ) Title: Re: Fun-Tronics At Chicago Show Post by: Funtronics on November 18, 2008, 06:57:09 am Joey I didn't get any pictures of the Mills 47. It was in the guys truck and he never got it out. That thing is SUPER HEAVY.
Leonard I purchased my Glascock for $350.00 and it is in excellent condition. I will try and post a picture for you in the next couple of days. The scale that the guy was showing me, I went ahead and purchased it, and then the next day I sold it and made a few bucks. Janet wasn't real happy when I bought it. It's one of those things that is also SUPER heavy and she didn't think I could sell it. Well I guess I proved her wrong on that one. Just goes to show you that us men can be right once and a while. :biggrin: Rod Title: Re: Fun-Tronics At Chicago Show Post by: Funtronics on November 19, 2008, 05:28:30 pm Leonard:

Your Glascock looks awesome. I want to finish mine in the original green color. Does anyone know the correct color to paint the Glascock? It was nice meeting you at the show Leonard, Janet and I look foward to hearing from you. 8) |
