Update & Information
My reason for the initial post was that I was worried that the 4 clocks I sent Scott may have vanished. The tracking said that they were delivered "at or near a mailbox". I couldn't reach Scott so I called the Post Office that made the delivery and asked that they retrieve the package and send it back to me, they said they would and that they would call me in any event; they never did, even after speaking with them over several days.
A member, Franko, of this forum PMed me and gave me the name of a business that was close by and related. I called them and the owner said he knew Scott and would call him and get back to me, but said he thought that Scott had retired. The bottom line is that I got my clocks back from Scott with a note saying that he had retired.
Wanting to get my clocks restored I searched the forum and made several contacts:
1) Smith's Magnetics, Scott Thomas, retired
2) Mark Bowman, booked out 3 months
3) Bob's, family business, no waiting, but $600/ea. to restore!!!
4) I found a Canadian company, but don't want to send these out of the country yet.
5) Nisonger's, piss poor attitude, I did use them once and the instruments bounced, called them, and of course I had "other" problems. BS
At this point it is too late to take chances on turn-around time. The two for my Norton build both work so I'll use them and get them done next winter. The two for my '70 TR6R can wait as well.
Anyone have any other leads? I will call any/all and, at least, archive the data.
Best.
