In 1987 Tim Shockey purchased me in Wilmington North Carolina. He brought me back to southern Ohio where I sat on display in his video store (Uncle Jim’s Videoland). After he sold the video store I was put in his back yard where I sat for many years. His wife didn’t like me. She tried to give me away… even ran into me with a riding mower (by accident) and knocked off my left ear. After that happened Tim moved me into his garage where I was finally out of the awful weather and away from riding mowers!
In 2011 Tim started working every evening and weekend restoring me. He worked many many hours on me building, sanding and pulling his hair out and finally on March 16, 2013 I was painted! The following weekend attended our first horror con at HorrorHound Weekend in Cincinnati, Ohio! After that weekend Tim bought me a new trailer to transport me around in. We attended over 10 shows that year! We have been to shows across the whole east coast from Maine to Florida and as far west as Western Nebraska. We also have attended many shows in Canada!
On July 25, 2021 Tim had me professionally repainted and that day just happened to be the 35th Anniversary of the Theatrical release of Maximum Overdrive!
