I recently met Bob personally and he is a very nice fellow. He has been a ham a long time and is an asset to ham radio. Hi Bob.

Terry, what took you so long with your post?

Roger Martin W5LW was offering a couple of 8877 tubes for sale. I answered the ad and said I was interested. When buying tubes NOBODY wants to gamble and buy a tube of unknown quality, pay good money for it, and have no recourse if the tube(s) is bad right out of the box. All too often tubes are off...

He is most likely getting your emails and your phone calls. He is most likely seeing your postings to the amplifier forums. He is obviously ignoring you. I have seen all your attempts to contact him via the "hang outs" on the net.

Hi, I think that is awful but don't think you are the only one this has happened to. Happened to me a few times believing what people say. Ask for pictures of the insides. YES, I would like to see the photos you have of that mess. Send them to gudguyham@aol.com Thanks Lou

Gentlemen look at my new posting under "JULIUS SUMMERS RIPPED OFF MY RADIO CLUB''. As you will see i am very angry over the comments Mr Vega made concerning my Stellar Reputation. I have listed in great details the events that took place after my radio was shipped to the Rowland Heights Radio Club....

My point simply being this. There are 2 of the same radio's involved here. The good radio from the honest ham. A broken radio form a dishonest ham. Buys good radio and uses parts from it to repair broken radio. Now the serial numbers change on the good and broken radios. Both radios get sold. if no ...

This is a very interesting mystery. May I offer a scenario here? Without mentioning names I will simply outline a scenario as I see it. Someone owns a broken 775 radio. It needs parts to be fixed. He answers an ad to buy a good working unit from an honest ham. He gets his father to purchase the radi...

I know Lawson very well and I have been dealing the same way with him for years. If he wants something from you, just pack it up and sent it out without fear. Your money will arrive in a Jiffy. Lou

Damn it, I still don't know if this radio had a noise blanker or not. It seems to be a he said she said. How can we determine for sure it it had one or not?

OMG... I know this guy. I have dealt with him before but my deal with him was in person. I once bought an amplifier from him and he VERY graciously drove a long way to deliver it to me. We met at a Wendy's and had lunch together. I see him at the same hamfest every year out on Long Island. Although ...

Am I crazy or is that one hell of an upside down trade?

The famous Sy Symms always said "an educated consumer is our best customer".

can you post a copy of the MO? Was the signature and the change made to read HALTERMMAN CHRIS HALTERMAN IS A KNOWN SCAMMER AND ALWAYS TRIES TO SELL AN SB-220 AND MLA-2500. He has been operating on and off for years.

Just like you George, you're the best.

Great post, but....I didn't think you got shocked by RF, I thought it was more like a burn...NO?

The guy has a ZERO feedback history. That should have been your first clue. I am not saying tha everyone with a ZERO feeback history is bad, but yiu need to proceed with extream caution when you see that. It could mean he had a previous barage of negatives under a different name. If you paid with pa...

Paul, what difference does it make? Maybe it is just a scare tactic like fake security cameras, fake barking dog recordings, cars towed at owners expense signs, and other bogus deterent methods. Either way if it keeps people from scamming Martyn WTH? Although I am equally as curious but if he is blu...

Rodger, it is hard to get any law agancy to help you. Usually you can google someone and find out things that may help you out. There is little on this guy except that he does belong to this group http://aresav.org/ You may want to contact this group and talk to someone in charge and explain the sit...

Hey fellas, get yourself a cup of coffee and then sit down and read this: Enjoy

Nick, Your right as usual!! Terry is a good guy for sure. I've dealt with Terry for some years now and always a good experience. He is like us Nick, honest to the bone. Lou

In this case $500.00 is not a too good to be true price. The seller admits to "lines on the screen". This problem only gets worse to the point that you cannot see the screen eventually. There are no screen replacements unless you buy from some guy in EU for about $300.00 and you have the ability to ...

because I received the damaged goods I had to get involved by photographing the packing and damage because they don't seem to send anyone out anymore. Why send someone out? They never pay anyway.

ship about 8-12 SB-220 amps a month. When I used to use UPS the damage was often. They NEVER paid a claim. I got stuck every time making good on damages. I finally got wise and use Fed EX, I have shipped about 75 or more SB-220 amps with them and not one ounce of damage. Someone shipped back in same...

TOTALLY the opposite here. I get MANY Fed EX deliveries weekly that require a signature. If I am not home I call 1-800-GOFEDEX. I can schedule another delivery date I will be home or they cn reroute the delivery for the next day to an alternate delievry site where I will be. NEVER had a problem with...
