  1. I have been a vendor at Hershey since the 1960s.  I received the email alert saying I would get the survey but I did not.  It is not in my junk file.  My email address has not changed.  I would like to have a voice by having an opportunity to respond.  I don't get a good feeling about how this is being handled.

  2. To close out my original thread, the PA TPKE just reimbursed me for the total amount of the overcharge after I submitted the required dispute form that I downloaded from their site.

    I also called the VA EZPASS office and told them about the incident and they are sending me new transponders for both of my cars.

  3. Thank you for the information.  My transponder is mounted correctly and has been in the same place for years.  I had been wondering how we are supposed to know when the battery is low and needs to be replaced.  I need to investigate that.  I submitted the form, but will try the phone number also.

    Thanks again.

  4. During Hershey week I stay at a hotel in New Cumberland and it is located on I-83 near the PA Turnpike Harrisburg West Shore toll booth.  During the week I made eight trips between the Harrisburg West and Harrisburg EAST Shore exits going to and from Hershey.  Soon after I got home, my EZPASS account was replenished two times within a few days.  When I checked my EZPASS account (Virginia EZPASS) I found that I had been charged $10 for each trip between the two exits for a total of $80.  The normal toll for these trips according to the PA Turnpike web site is $1.40.  (For 2 axle, four wheel vehicles.)

    The VA EZPASS customer service said I had to take it up with the PA Turnpike.  I called them and all they did was tell me where to go on their web site to get a form to print, fill out, and submit to dispute the tolls.

    No reply from them yet, but there might be others that made the same trip that week and you might want to check your EZPASS account to see what you were charged.

  5. In 1962 I attended a car show where I saw the cars in the attached photos.  I can not remember where the show was, but it was within one day's driving distance of Middletown, PA where I lived at the time.  In the background of a couple of the pictures there appears to be a roller coaster.  I know that sounds like Hershey, but I am pretty sure it was not there.  I would appreciate knowing where it was if anyone can identify the location from the pictures.  Thank you.

  6. Does anyone know where I can get new screws like those used to hold door handles in place in GM products of the 1930s?  I know Cadillac and Chevrolet used them and I suspect others did also.

    They are 1/4 - 28 x 5/8".  They have domed heads that are 1/2" across the flats and are about 1/16" at the edge.  Restoration Specialties had them in their catalog a few years ago but no longer stock them.

    Thank you in advance for any help.
