[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 42717, member: 67"] Re: Danley Jericho 2 in Saint Marteen We'd be "tire-kicking" at this point, but we're replacing our 40 unit trap box rig when we finish off the VerTec rig (probably by May). But until we're ready to open the check book, I don't usually ask for demo units to be delivered... I try to catch public demonstrations or installation evaluations to winnow the list of contenders. Oh, and we bought the first round of VerTec w/o a demo, based on me & my boss using it as BEs and my working with it as an IATSE hand. It had the right combination of price, delivery and terms, too. It was hard to be taken seriously when we were ready to spend $300k; hell, it was hard for my buddy Mickey Morgan @ ProFormance in Emoryville to be taken seriously when he had $1million to spend (Bink & Grandpa Lee probably remember Mickey). Some manufacturers and/or reps aren't very good and picking up the cues that a customer is ready (they overlook the open checkbook) and others create inexplicable barriers. Mickey said "I never knew it would be so hard to spend a million bucks." Enough of this. Ivan, let me know when you've got other public demos, I'll try to be there. [/QUOTE]
