Knoebels 1001 had inspection stickers from Texas [1996 & 1997] and Louisiana State fair 96. Louisiana sticker said Webber in the manufacturer space. Photo below:

Deggeller Weber 1001's 




I am pretty sure I remember wheels on that center load, but you might be right. If you look at some of the other pictures in that album you can see his Dutch Wheel, the Music Express, coaster (booked on), and lots of kiddies and majors.

I am pretty sure that the one in Knoebels came from CVS, while their Dutch Wheel was the one Deggeller owned.

Was probably CVS's as didn't they used to bring in a good number of rides in the early years of the Meadowlands Fair?

Late 80's I saw CVS with Conklin at Yonkers Fair and with A of A at Meadowlands.

Yep, true, but I remember those back wheels jacked up in the air, you know like it is on the Rainbow.

Our trailer mounted Scrambler had removable wheels, easy to take off, but a pain to put them back on.

Ass-holeliners all had removable wheels, yes? On and off pretty easy. Pirate had removable wheels, but you didn't have to remove them. Removable king-pin as well...

Sorry you lost me on that one, you talking about Astroliners? Didn't know the Pirate had removable wheels and kingpin.
