Video 61, Gone?

[littleman jack]

It appears that Video61, Lance's excellent shop for all things Atari 8-bit, might be closed.

Is anyone in the area in Minnesota?

Lance had been doing physical therapy after a car accident and working intermittently.

It appears he might be closed.

The phone is giving a non-stop busy signal and the email address no longer works.

Anyone know if he's okay?

You tried THIS ([email protected])? Right?

The last time I ordered cart from him he was in therapy, but filled my orders rather smartly (quick).

wrong address mentioned

I don't know how old the message is but on the main page it says he's been in an accident at some point..

 

I would not expect immediate responses after that sort of message..

 

Of course we all wish Lance the best...

Definitely. We wish him the best.

I briefly chatted with him via email last year, and he was still doing physical therapy but progressing and sounding upbeat.

I hope he makes a good recovery.

 

He made time to respond to my emails, and was kind enough not to dismiss my questions.

thought that accident was long ago, I hope we don't end up with a million v61 threads about his address, the web site, his phone, his product and on and on. This one should suffice and I haven't had an issue seeing his website... or any other problems for that matter.

That message has been on the site for a few years now, at least three.  

 

I haven't talked to Lance since last summer though, so I don't know anything current.  Pete seems to have completely disappeared from Facebook, so I can't ask him either.  

[littleman jack]

I just got a reply from Lance via email.

All is well. He's still doing business and he is feeling pretty well.

Hurray!

Ah thanks SS, glad he's ok in these worrying times..

 

Petey....hmmm.....odd guy...But we hope he's well also..

The phone for V61 has been off for years because Lance, feeling better or not can't sit by it all day. He accepts orders via e-mail only, but will get back to you promptly.
