Mike Friedman. Mr Frieman. just read your response and want to say, WHY didnt you e-mail me with this complaint a long time ago??? I garrentee the parts and if you werent satisfied i would have gladly refunded your money. But i didnt hear a word from you. E-Mail is the best way to contact me. If i dont hear a complaint then i asume there is no prioblem. Thats along time ago, so i dont remember all the details. But if i can change the part i will, just let me know, {At my expense.} As for the message to the list i have to apoligize if iam not supose to send messages like that. But i check messages and when i go thru 4-600 a day i get in a hurry and do the quickest thing to get it done. I will try and not send my responses to the list, but privatly from now on. SORRY CLUB. I try to satisfy all, but as you can read i do not always, So i need to apoligize if i have and will try and do better, This club has been very good to me and i will try harder.
