Parts comparison...

[Bigtonka]

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!
Mark

Both are very good and both take a lot of pride into making these parts.
I use both ..

I personally prefer Soda Jerk Works, quality products and much better customer service.

I have had fantastic customer service from both places.  I don't think you'll go wrong in either case. 

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.

You won't go wrong dealing with Steve at SJW.  He is a stand-up guy.

         The door gasket that has been pre-glued in the corners, costs more but works way better.

I've bought parts from both and spoke with them on the phone about my orders.
You can't go wrong with either place. I've gotten excellent service and great parts.

Thanks for all the great input.  I shall be ordering from both!
