Re: Fisher Price Spares from Where?
Alright. I just went to the same store I have been going to for three years and got the same run around you are all describing. BTW, it is the same store Dr. Joe went to and I experienced the same thing. This was, by far, the most unhelpful trip I have taken to this store in three years.

I have contacted my source at Johnson Electric to see what he can do to help us. I am trying to buy the motors direct from Johnson electric, but I will probabaly have to buy a lot. The last time I tried this, I had to order 100,000 to get them from Johnson Electric directly; but I did not have this contact at the time. He has not gotten back to me yet, but he will; because he always does.

What I need from all of you is an interest count on how many people actually want spares. I am willing to pursue this, but I need a little backup from you. Just put it in this thread if you are willing to go in on this and I will do the leg work.

I am shooting for buying between 200 and 500, because that is about how many I think I can unload quickly.

Post away!!!
