Could you please pass my regards to Steve... He has been very helpful with the handful of machines I have restored... I live in England so he has always known I was not going to be a big buy customer but that has never stopped him talking to me (sometimes for 45 mins) and passing on great information and even better stories... I last spoke with him about a month ago and we tried to set the world right... He was well miffed with the current eccomomic climate. A well educated man who has probably seen "The writing on the wall" and has got out at the right time...
I wish him well in everything he does he's been an invaluable source and a font of knowledge for me, 3000 miles away...

Wow!! Thanks for everything, Steve & Nancy. Steve and I had actually another connection besides Coke stuff. He lives in the county I grew up in and he lives in the housing development across from my aunt. We also share a good friend named Jack Heller. Steve/Nancy, all my best for a GREAT retirement and a huge THANK YOU for all you've done. Without your hard work and dedication, many of these great machines we all have would not have been able to be saved and preserved. God bless.  |

I agree, Congrats to them - They have always helped me no matter how big or small the project. I just talked to Steve last week and I guess this suprises me - but good for them.... Bob

I'm happy to hear the company will be continuing. Back when I was really into restoring machines Funtronics made it all possible. High quality parts and great service. Hope to see Steve at some shows in future. Thanks for everything..

I'll throw in my Congrats as well! I still have my Funtronics catalog from '92 when I first started working on machines...Steve was a big help for a new guy trying to figure things out. Enjoy your retirement!

I just talked with Steve, he called a few min. ago. He wants to thank everyone for there support. I'm going to print everyones kind words and put everything into a scrap book for Steve and Nancy. I will be with Steve and the new owners on Friday at Steves warehouse, I will be sure to take alot of photos of everyone and post them later on Friday for everyone to see.
Thanks, Curtis Kauffman, Memory Lane Restorations.
