Re: Motion (?) item on ebay ?
You guys are right about Joel being in Brooklyn in the late 1950's and not New Jersey,as I was wrong earlier.
I heard that was why Joel called it MOTiON,per that ignition companys name,but no other connection. JoeG sent me that awhile ago so I was hoping he would log on by now & clarify.

Re: Motion (?) item on ebay ?
Yeah, that picture looks like it's probably the old Brooklyn shop if anything. It sure looks like Brooklyn by everything in the picture lol.

Re: Motion (?) item on ebay ?
Very interesting! If its original, I'd like to add it to my collection but if not, I'd like to avoid spending the money on a part with a similar name but a very different purpose.
Thanks guys, Dan

Dan,
If you look at his feedback, he sold another one recently as well. Jason

Re: Motion (?) item on ebay ?
That's the old Brooklyn Motion shop Rick....Joel just stuck in the Motion name with the computer. I had gone back there to see if there was anything left of the old Motion sign............This photo is only a few years old---The neighborhood was in much better shape back in the 50's & 60's..........
About the Motion Ignition from N.J.( Joel did get the idea of Motion Performance from that Company)------Dan you better open your piggy bank........

Re: Motion (?) item on ebay ?
Was not me, sorry but I was not convinced this is a Motion Performance item. There were numerous examples of the "Motion" brand name used as a poser or replicated brand name throughout the years.

Re: Motion (?) item on ebay ?
You're right Dan, It wasn't a "Motion Performance" branded item as we know it ---It was just a new CD unit used back then ,which got Joel hooked on it's performance and was just another beginning factor ,which led to the Motion Performance we know today....... It is a neat piece though.......I think JoeC has an actual Motion Ignition catalog.........
