About the Owner
Ben Ransom has collected gadgets all throughout his life. Whether it's old cameras, record players or stereos Ben has bought and sold them all. He found it difficult to find a reliable source for cool gadgets other than Ebay. He wanted to provide a concrete place for premier vintage pieces. Ben scours the Twin Cities area in his old 1983 Mercedes that runs off of vegetable oil for that next gadget. You may run into him, windows down, Oakley's on, and DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince blasting from the original factory speakers.
