It's been awhile since I've seen one of the older models. The newer, folding ones have 8 tubs that stay attached to the platforms when folded, right?
The older ones, didn't they have more than 8 tubs? Was it 10 or 12? I think I remember 10. I remember thinking that while the newer ones looked easier to move, I preferred the older ones.
Wabash Valley Shows of Indiana had an very nice older model a couple of years ago.
I've never been "with it", just been an interested observer of carnivals for more than 50 years.
Johnny's United Shows..."A Family Tradition" and "All for Fun, Fun for All".
The carnival of my youth, which had roots that originated in my hometown.
