Whoa, Many people that make parts come and go. Good quality reproduction parts can turn a machine useful and displayable until an original part can be found if at all.
I take a different view, I'm very thankful all these people do what they do and I doubt they are getting rich and perhaps in many cases just covering cost. Regardless of shipping cost or attitude I appreciate having the option. He is after all making parts for a very limited production run. Now if you pay a parts supplier and don't get your parts that is a conversation to have. Oldcranky Mike On Wed, Apr 28, 2010 at 10:47 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Agreed.
