They were making circus jumps most every week with all those units as well. Those guys worked.

The ten years I was with Strates ('78-'88) it was all ten-day or longer spots.

I just read knoebles is restoring a Swiss bob
It said they have two old ones to work with
One was amusements of americas

Big A used to move the heck out of that Swiss Bob....

I always wanted to redo/update one. The noise the train makes going around the track combined with that fog-horn it was a magnet. Too bad the capacity is not better, but with a new drive might be able to drop 'em a little quicker.

Yes they did,It moved every week
They were some great crews!
Especially in the 70’s and 80’s

Stuff looked a little rough sometimes, but yeah they had multiple units jumping every week.

Hardest working show I ever saw. I had a good friend (Jack "Bones" Bitzer) that moved Big A's Swiss Bobs back in the '89s. He came over and worked with me on Strates' Flying Bobs for a while and said it was like being on vacation.
