Question about Judson Machines?

[BLewis]

One thing that I have come to notice while looking for a back up unit is that you never see a used Judson machine for sale. Why is this? I can only assume 2 things, either they really are just that good and dependable or that Les "really" services his customers and helps them to keep them running.

Heck, for that matter I don't know that I have every seen a post about a problem with one. This stands true for Judson and Butler, although you do occassionaly see something about a Butler but how many thousands of them are out there.

I am not pushing anyone it's just something that I came to realize recently. If you go to Jon Don used machines 75% of them seem to be Blueline Thermowaves.

i dont think i would ever sell my jud..... its just a great machine and built like a tank . my kids might sell it to you when im dead and gone . if you want to wait

 

[adamh]

Not to say anything bad about a Jud ( that will probably be my next machine ) but look at it this way. Blueline was selling over 700 machines a year. I bet Judson hasn't built 700 his whole life.

Numbers game.

good thing you're not a betting man Adam.

Just like a carpet cleaning business, its all about image and marketing. IMHO Judson is a very soild machine but ugle as hell. It does look like the backyard built machine. If you notice the other TM they look more appealing to have mounted in your van. The Judson family may not like to sell massive number of machines like the others. Judson is one of the top machines, but I would never buy one just because the way it looks.

Racist Bigot!

Wow I never knew the Judson machine was a race.....Youre so smart mike.....

 

[Mikey P]

I've actually received complements about how impressive and expensive my Judson looks from male and female customers.


Unlike Brent they have nothing to compare it to.
If you think they remember what the last slide in looks like you're fooling your maleness.

Personally I think it looks nice from a simplistic engineering point of view. But, however unattractive it may be to others: I'm not dating it, just using it.

ps Plus mine is shiny stainless steel and will always look that way.

It just doesn't need to hide all the wires and switches that the other ones have.
Just clicked over 1000hrs, fuel and oil is about all I've given it. It'll be two years July 1st.

How much more would it cost to make a pretty false front for the Judson?

Maybe $500? Les why don't you design one and offer it as a option.

 

[Warren Wallace]

Looks the way it works like a tank none stop all day without all
the issue's I hear about the other machines. It's a money maker
that's for sure.

When I've spoken wit Les, he seemed willing to build what you want. You'll have to pay for it of course

I can describe my Lunch Pail in two words.



ROCK solid.

 

[joeynbgky]

let me make sure i have this right..........

A Judson is a lunchpail?
A dodge van is a Lima bean?

What the heck i need a reason why lol.

 

[Mikey P]

finally someone gets it right.

 

[joeynbgky]

ok..... but why do you call it that? lol If im gonna start callign my new dodge a lima bean i need to know why. i called it that earlier and my tech said.......... huh, its not even green its orange

 

[Mikey P]

 

[Mikey P]

as for the Lunch Pail name.

It started with my nick name or Blue Collare workers..."Larry Lunchpail"...
and was brought home by this...

[joeynbgky]

ok i get the lunchpail... but lima bean. hmm im putting it together. to much tofo for me today. ill get it in the morning lol

 

[Mikey P]

BTW


On the morning of the ride where I was going to toss the "pail" into Swede's favorite Lake, I called his wife, my aunt and she insisted I keep it at home.

She was in tears when she gave me those instructions....




Devil Thomas' situation is very similar to my uncle 's death actually.

Good on YOU....JuGheAd...

Some TRINKETS...should be PASSED down thruogh the GENERATIONS... 8)

Well, Alot of good people leave us. Knowing damn well all those drug dealers and killers should go first and they do not. Life is not fair.

 

[Ron Werner]

makes me wonder why someone would want to spend an extra $1000 or more, just for aesthetics. The first V's were very ugly, sold on the wow of size.

Cause looks DO matter. We're a shallow nation, I don't care how good your tm's personality is she's gotta look good.

 

[Askal]

If you show up with a clean signed truck, uniformed techs, and the equipment you bring in the home is clean and well maintained then you are "in". A chrome faceplate means squat to your customer. Never had a customer comment on the lack of or or showing of a slick looking TM. Ever. They do like loud though.

We frequently get comments on how good our Butler units look

I don't think that Judson TMs are bad looking at all though


I bet if you wanted to powder coat the frame or add a diamond plate or whatever , Les would be happy to oblige and charge accordingly

 

[Danny Strickland]

IS MArdys half built Judson for sale???

IS MArdys half built Judson for sale???

Marty's unit never was half built. The rush to meet my obligation was ordering special parts.

I have a C-4 ready to go. Do you need one?
