Things I Wish Hershey Had ...

As great and as fun as the Hershey swap meet is, I wish it had two additional things:

-- A key-cutter/lock specialist (has there ever been one there?); and

-- An on-site mobile AC/hydraulic hose specialist who could do custom hose crimping jobs, such as cam oil lines, AC lines, etc. with fittings we provide.

What else?

Brian

Have seen the key guy in the past, no telling if he will be there Sat.
Dont you have a "local" hydrolic hose shop, you got to have tractors in N. VA

I'm sure there are several hydraulic hose places around, but it's a matter of time and convenience. If I could get something like that done while I was at Hershey, all the better.

Thanks, I'll have to look for the key master. I don't recall seeing a key person at the past Hersheys I've attended.

Don't look for him, listen for him. He's usually buried behind a line of people, and is there every year. I actually had a spot next to him a couple years ago.

I wish it had parts for sale that aren't overpriced worn-out pieces of junk, sold by cash-only sellers with no contact information. That's what I wish.

i found the exact opposite last year. everything i bought was significantly cheaper, most times by half, than the going rate on here or ebay. spend a few mins talking to the seller and they are usually nice enough to haggle a fair amount with you.
