    Sure would be nice to see an article that some guy is converting SS to EM's in large numbers for a change.

    Quoted from o-din:

    It would be like converting a charcoal grill to propane.

    Oh oh! Here we go again!

    Quoted from o-din:

    I miss are things that are no longer available anywhere such as Delaware Punch.

    I used to sell it and liked it myself. Great label and a very good stable seller back in the 80's. You could always sell a corner store a case of DP every week or two in the S.F. Bay Area. I used to sell Calso Water for the bars as well, but the newer Crystal Geyser and Calistoga eventually killed that brand. Pickle Head bars loved Calso as it had bicarbonate of soda for your hangover, so basically Alkaseltzer already mixed.

    This was a favorite of mine when I was a kid. It was non carbonated and you could really slug them down on a hot day.

    Yummm!

    Ha! Too funny Pin-it, I used to sell Sioux City sarsaparilla and cream soda back when it was new too! Great Stuff and a great seller back in the 80'a as well.

    Cans are OK, but bottles used to rock!

    Quoted from Rat_Tomago:

    It's all about Faygo.

    Never saw or heard of that soda before.

    This was what you had as a kid growing up in S.F.CA.

    Quoted from CactusJack:

    Oh, and I prefered RC as a kid. You got a bigger bottle for the same price as Coke or Pepsi!

    Yea, I liked RC and Pepsi better than Coke back then. Now I don't drink any of them, but it's because of the caffeine and caffeine free versions just taste weird to me.

    I built models

    Quite a bit on ship models and some car models.

    Quoted from o-din:

    It was called the Peeping Bomb. The Red Baron didn't handle the supercharger so well.

    I still have both and plenty of others. Peeping bomb headlights turn on too by pulling back the lever inside the interior which was a cool feature.

    Quoted from Blairally:

    Hey guys I've been thinking about going the other way and converting some of my SS to EM, I was thinking Twilight Zone or Funhouse, shouldn't be too hard

    Easy money, most likely just have to change out a few fuses to complete the project.

    Quoted from Darcy:

    Hey Ken, that gumball machine in Twilight Zone would need a whole bank of relays to function as an EM. Would it not? That spinning clock could also be challenging to make work as an EM.

    Yea Darcy, By my calculation the Twilight Zone conversion EM project will need at least 24 Stepper units, a dozen Relay Banks, a half dozen motors, and need a Atari Hercules Cabinet to fit it all.

    No problem.

    Quoted from Chrisbee:

    WOW amazing, this thread is sort of "back on topic".

    Yes Chris, I agree that it is time to get things back on track with this thread and also at the same time mention my concern about a certain person who keeps trying to SPAM this thread. A no SPAM policy is now in effect.
