So for the past few weeks Buzzy has let me go behind the counter so straighten up and dig for treasures, throw out some garbage, and generally make room.

 

I have found some really cool stuff that hasn't seen daylight in years. Some rare HO cars that Buzzy has priced and put in the showcase... an old slot car controller that looks like a handgun that is not for sale but we put it in the showcase for conversation... .and old slot car dyno.

 

I also opened up some drawers that have not been opened in over 20 years... found lots of old Cukras armatures and parts... lots of old HO parts. Just about anything from Parma that you cant find today. Found an old Red Fox controller brand new in the box  buried for years... too much stuff to list.

 

Some stuff is for sale... some not... it's still a work in progress.

 

Come down and check it out.

Too long of a commute. Will Buzzy let you post some photos of the treasures here?

In May, got hit in the head to many times, week before or week after Memorial day.

Would think after 20 years going there I would know that.

. I did 5 days in NYC about 4 years ago and it was a great trip. Getting to Buzzy’s was the only thing I missed!
