I played Raleigh from '78 to '88 and don't remember Deggler booking Huss rides. I think Conklin's Southern Comfort unit may have originally been Deggler's "Spectacular Magic Midway"
I do remember having two Skywheels and the 1001 Nights. I think Strates got the Tri Star from the guy that booked the 1001.
Now, I have to say I didn't go, but I remember an article in "Carnival" of the fair with a picture of the Ranger (no back wall)and a ride list, may still have it. Now, this was not the NCSF but remember reading in AB as well that Deggeller booked in his Break Dance (leased or owned)at the Central Florida Fair with Strates as well that one year he had it on the road.
Loved that TriStar, rode it every year I could until he sold it, said it just didn't make money against the Enterprise. Not sure why that didn't catch on because the experience was unusual, like a Scramber in the air. Course, there were a lot of platforms and that big back wall.
Wasn't that also around the time that fellow with the Cortina Bobs and Bumper Boats would book with him as well, what was his name?
