Van Invent - got the machine!

Post by **Bikerbob** » Thu May 31, 2007 2:49 pm

I have been trying for sometime to get in contact with this guy about getting bodies (As have many of us)

Today I got his answering machine for the first time in a LONG TIME and the message was different than the last time I remember.

This must mean he is about.. so I left the info again. I will let you all know if I get hold of a real person.

If any of us acctually get lucky enough to talk to a real human being and place an order for Yoke bodies that person should make sure to order enough to go around the board!

I was just thinking the same thing.

We'd almost be better served by trying to contact Yokomo about having a small run of original bodies pulled...
