The year was 1986.
Top Gun was in theaters, cassette tapes were everywhere, and at J&J Amusements, we were already working on electric go-karts.
Take a look through our Spring 1986 J&J Recreation Newsletter and you’ll get a glimpse of what we were designing, building, and thinking about nearly 40 years ago.
A lot has changed since then, the karts, batteries, electronics, and technology but some things haven’t changed at all.
We’re building commercial amusement equipment in Salem, Oregon, still looking for ways to make our products better, and still focused on the same things that have guided us for decades:
Safety. Service. Quality.
There’s something special about looking back at an old company newsletter and realizing that the ideas we were working on in 1986 are still part of where the industry is headed today.
Take a trip back in time and check out our Spring 1986 Newsletter.
