All, The N.J. location was in Recht's chemical factory in Jersey City. A portion (about a 25 ft. X 25 ft. ) of the main area was fenced off. Chain link to the ceiling. All the goodies were in there. Picked up 3 custom track jobs for my team in 81.

For the most part, the NJ address was the East Coast outlet for Medici, since it was where Bill lived. Beyond that, nothing related to the building of the frames happened there.
