W9DVM Sold me a defective amp

Post by Hauk »

I bought a TE amp from Phil W9DVM, He said is was like new, The amp portion works but the Pre Amp shorts out the incoming signal when it is turned on. KJ4BHH

W9DVM-BAD EQUIPMENT.

Post by WB2DLF »

Not one to post but had to on this one. A while back Phil sold me a Heath DX-60 which was suppose to be in excellent operating condition. His ""ENGINEER"" forgot to put back in a resistor he took out to make some test but then told me how wrong I was when I reported no HV. Spoke to Phil then his ""ENGINEER"" who both said "it worked when it left them". E-mailed them both pics of chassis, they responded with admitting the error and sending me the used parts. Phil justified it by sending me a dozen jars of his spices. If he offers, send back the piece. Lots of luck. Leon, WB2DLF.

bad deal from W9DVM

Post by Hauk »

I just wanted to update everyone one the misrepresented deal from Phil W9DVM: I sent him an email about the defective amp, His answer was to call TE and ask them what is wrong with it, I feel like he knew it did not work and has no intention of making it right. KJ4BHH

Goodness! I told the man I had traded for this amp and never used it. He offered much less and I said OK. It looked like new. He called about the pre-amp and I said if it doesn't work to return it for a refund as I do with everyone, My rep is always the best and I am appalled about this note with out a call.

Over the past 16 years, I have purchased from Phil LaMarche various amps and radios. Every piece of radio gear was as described or better. I always found Phil a gentleman and great person to buy from. W4KC
