ABC's NIGHTLINE NEWS did a story on me that will be airing this Tuesday, October 20th, about our shop and the fact that it was October 21st 2015 that Doc and Marty traveled to in the future in "Back to the Future Part II".
I will be headed out to Los Angeles to be part of the "We're Going Back" event for a week long celebration of the 30th anniversary of BTTF.
Set your DVR's now to record it!
See you in the "future"!

I don't think I need to record anything. Something tells me you will post it on youtube the minute it airs.:p

I met Ken Smith (#3263) and his time machine in Reston Town Center (Reston, VA) today when i was out with my wife and kids. I was talking to him for a while and he showed me some of the parts you've sold him, including the flux capacitor. As much as i love sitting behind the wheel of my DeLorean, it was treat to be able to get a quick seat in his car and be in a Time Machine.

Anyways, I'll look forward to watching for the segment tomorrow night on ABC!

Just curious in buying from Videobob. Novadmc, how was the flux, videos look good from Videobob but cannot "feel" and "see" the item. I'm one of those people that hates online shopping. I may travel there (Texas) in the spring, or the next openhouse.....or something to get a feel for what he has. Just wanted to know your thoughts???

Videobob, sorry to have missed your segment. If you have a youtube link I will watch it!

Thanks in advance!

I just finished my 23rd Delorean Time Machine.
With experience comes quality, the cars we are building now are better and more accurate than ever!
I am in Hollywood at the "We're Going Back" event and I am posting a ton of photos and videos on my bobspropshop facebook, so follow along!

Not sure what you asking about my Flux, I can tell you that I am not offering them for sale at this time, except inside our conversions.
If you are in Dallas and want to see one in person let me know.

For a cheap but semi-believeable Flux Capacitor, and being able to point to one in my car, I used my iPad with the "Time Display Circuits" app and upgraded it so you get a full screen Flux Capacitor, and then got a cardboard box about the right size- you could get a Stahlin or similar enclosure as well, but those are spendy - cut out the window, used black electrical tape around the edged of the window, added a sponge inside to hold the iPad in place, painted the box a dark gray, and voila! Flux Capacitor for about $20 plus your iPad. Also added some electrical elbows to the top and side. Note that after these photos I was able to get a Dymo labeler so I had better labels. These I did on my printer and it was having ink head issues - but still worked for the events I had to do.
Btw, the next version of the app will have accelerometer enhancements to go faster as you get towards 88 and will flux at 88, plus it'll have sound as well.

Oh! Ok. FYI, you may want to update your website then: http://www.bobspropshop.com/companystore_bttf.html

I will get ahold of you a month or so before I arrive in town, but barring that, if you have openhouses in 2016 please let us know the dates on here so I can schedule a vacation around that time (work tends to not let us out that much) so other people can know as well.

Once again, congrats on your interview :rock_on::thumbup:

Thank you for that info. I may try that as how all that I have is the Thinkgeek USB charger:

I put it in there to answer those "Where is the Flux Capacitor?" questions, 10 year olds were asking me at car shows. One was actually dejected that I didn't have one in there so I pulled the flux from my DD #outatime and put it in #docbrwn
