Cool looking, but it would seem to be a space hog, too me.

They're huge. I once was at a shipyard that used one of those when the operator pushed the button to find a 35mm IBM aperture card. The trays rotated, one jammed and dumped 8000 cards all over her.

They're pretty neat if you have the room and can get parts and manuals. Most of them are getting a little long in the tooth, they'll need a little fixing.

While it might a space hog, I think it would be cool if you had the space.

My fathers business had a bigger version of this for collectable sports cards, my stupid uncles scrapped when they decided to move locations, it was too tall for the new location.

I would have loved to have it in my shop, it was just over 3 feet deep, 8 or 9 feet long and about 12 feet tall with several hundred dividable trays. As long as you knew what tray you needed it was a simple push of a few buttons to get what you needed.

That thing is so cool, I'd punch out a wall just to make room for it. The thing's a conversation piece even if you didn't need it.

I have spent the last year tossing out hardware,electrical,plumbing IE: "stuff" that I had accumulated the passed 40 years. It was taking a 16' long x 8' tall wall just to store in all in bins. ...

It gets to the point at which I am currently positioned at my age of 62, that it is much easier when I start a project or doing a honey DOO, that I just pick up the hardware needed at Lowes rather than dig through bin after, bin of **** to find a bolt or thingamygig. . jmo

I could see Don Long using it in his operation!

My Grandpa had one of those in his farm shop, until he had an accident and burned the shop down.

For anyone that REALLY wants one and has deep pockets I'd suggest googling remstar. While these machine look good on paper they are WORTHLESS IMO. Yes they save space. What do they cost? I have no clue but I'm sure they're unbelievably expensive. These things are ******* maintenance WHORES! Nothing but problems with them in my experience. If you're working in a fast pace environment get ready to grab a beer and wait for the machine to do its job. If you are using it to store parts that come in boxes YOU'RE SCREWED! When you get a part that comes in a box you need to take the dimensions of the box and enter it into the machine. Simple enough right? What happens down the road the company that boxes the item decides to change the dimensions of the box???? Now you have one big cluster ****. I know it sounds like I'm stuck in the 70's and not grow with technology but this technology needs to be put through rigorous testing in fast passed environments. This machine is only good for people who aren't trying to play beat the clock. I have a friend of mine who works for corporate Mercedes Benz and told me his Remstar machine was down for a WEEK! In my experiences I was play with the machine and get what I needed out of it. From what my friend told me the carousel WOULDNT MOVE AT ALL!

Here's a video of what I'm talking about.

The difference between new style carousel and this old one is apples to oranges. Let me know when you find the monitor and key board to enter the dimensions for this old school machine to work

That's pretty awesome but you'd have to have a big shop to waste that kind of space just for cool factor.

Would buy it if it were located over on the "Right" coast.

Agreed

But, I am thinking of copying the sliding panels style currently in the big box stores.
