Just a quick reminder that tonight is the last time you can up-date your STOCKLINK software from Wash Vac’s site as of tomorrow it will be no more 😥
Re: STOCKLINK – The End!
Horray I say :tup:
The most hideous piece of software IMO, but horses for courses 😉

Re: STOCKLINK – The End!
I will miss it, IMO still one of the best part number look up around, and one of the first available too. Worked well, even with dial up while connections only ever came into its own when Broadband became wide spread.
A big mistake to get rid of it I feel.
Dave, like your car,you obviously never quite got the hang of it I guess. 😉Re: STOCKLINK – The End!

Re: STOCKLINK – The End!
I must admit, I had a little lump in my throat went I saw Martin’s subjuct title. But that lump was replaced by laughter when I read Dave’s comments.
Twas a pain in the… but, twas great for just tapping in a model number, and quickly having pictures of all the spares in an instant.
I can’t say I’ll miss it, or the 10 year old fax/modem I had to use to update it/place orders. 🙁
So when is the last time people will be able to order with it?

How about, give me a genuine part number, so I can compare prices with other companies 😈
Re: STOCKLINK – The End!
It did that!!!! and it even gave pattern alternatives part numbers, including their competitors (ie electrue). as well as listing the former part numbers if superceeded. i am missing it already.
Re: STOCKLINK – The End!
Did it?
The rep refused to re-install it on my shop PC, after I formatted it about a year ago.
“Don’t worry” he said “It’s all online, and just as good.” 😕
Re: STOCKLINK – The End!
You can also get Connections to do the same, it shows the genuine part number rather than the 503168…… bar code number if you ask nicely, or beat the rep up 😆
Dave.
Re: STOCKLINK – The End!
I tryed both. I’m not big enough 🙁
I just use the meditor to get genuine numbers.
Re: STOCKLINK – The End!
A good example this morning, need a pcb timer for a hoover PE235. Try looking that up on connections or even find it in mediator. Open up the now defunct, but still working as a part look up, stocklink and get the part number in an instant.

Was that John, nice guy but a certain way with words, he was pobably sick of people like me. He had to re install ours on a regular basis, I was a real pain to him over this – Poor guy.
