Ummmm. That's not even a drop in the ocean of how many machines you would need to sell when you compare it to the initial investment you would have to make combined with the R&D and marketing costs. Do you have a fully outfitted manufacturing facility? That's several million more. Who's going to sell, install, and service these things? How much capital do you have to invest? My guess is you are simply dreaming and haven't spend a second talking to actual accountants, bankers, lawyers, or financial advisors because no matter how great you think the product was there is one thing you keep ignoring........they went bankrupt.

I have been told that Futura was cannibalized by their workers moving to other companies.

I realize I have not gotten anywhere. All I am saying is what I want to do, doesnt mean it will happen. MN was Futura’s most popular state… they had a lot of machines here, they have decreased over the years but theres still a lot of them around. Also, 35 revolutions not including the Impulse or SSA. I can also not see any bankruptcy info online, let alone much of Futura alone..

Because Futura was a brand name, not the name of the manufacturer. If you really did know of what you speak, you would know that.
 
Futura went out in 2012. I don’t know what’s worse, trying to bring back dead department stores that went out of business years ago or trying to revive a car wash manufacturing brand that was a major flop towards the end
 
Back in the day we were distributors for Specialty/Futura. It died a slow death in the early 2000’s and finally closed in 2012 or so. I’ve been to production facilities and I wasn’t too impressed.
