Gery might have gone to Hershey and possibility taken a short vacation. I think he is now concentrating on the new radiator he is building. I am not sure he is doing original radaitor recores and rebuilds anymore. You might try email him at: [email protected]. Are you call him at: 618-231-3507.

Rusty, When you say "new radiator he is building", are you referring to the new Model A radiator with all new tanks, frame & core? I bought one of those last fall and have been really happy with it.

wrndln · 10-14-2014, 05:28 PM

Carl,
Yes, the radiator with new everything. Before he and his dad did recoring and used the original frames and tanks. He decided to mostly go with the new radiator now from what I understand. I have discussed this with him at MARC and Swap meets.

I have bought three radiators from him. He does excellent work. He told me he is traveling a bit after Hershey. I would email him but he is taking some time off. He had about 40 radiators at Hershey.

Are you saying that they sell an exact reproduction of the original ones with the dimples

FWIW;

I spoke with Gery a couple of weeks ago and was extremely busy. He was also at Hershey so the telephone call timing is likely the issue.

The 30/31 radiators are the ones that have the dimples, ...and Gery's does not have the dimple. The only one I am aware of having that is Brassworks.

As for the authentic 28/29 'show quality' radiators, those are presently "on hold" from Gery since he is out of those authentic cores. I spoke with him about this a few weeks before Hershey and he said he would look for one more but he was about out. Hopefully he finds more in the near future!!

thanks guys, I talked to Gery yesterday and he will be back to shop in three to four days...no original cores for '29....
