Purchased a Nye Viking from VE3NGW Chris in Ft Lauderdale, received the tuner and it was not as represented in the add, seems Chris was selling for a widow of a silent key he knew, the tuner was grabbing every turn due to a worn out bushing, we had several emails back and forth over the problem,couldn't get a re fund but he did send me parts and in those parts were not what I needed... Still looking for bushings and a flat copper spring that inserts in the back of the shaft on the inductor for a newer Nye...
I paid $400.00 for this tuner, it should have been like new and not worn out, I should have never had to do the fix on an item that was misrepresented in the first place...
Bad experience VE3NGW

Why...
Why did you put up with the sellers bad behavior? Why did you revert to repairing it? You said you couldn't get a refund. Why not? You did not receive what you paid for, so a refund was in order.I paid $400.00 for this tuner, it should have been like new and not worn out, I should have never had to do the fix on an item that was misrepresented in the first place...
The seller is obligated to deliver the item described in his ad. If not, he is obligated to refund your payment and receive the item back from you after you receive the refund.
Anything short of this, raises questions which seem to need some explaining.
