[Elecraft] Ernesto's Hex Key Covers

[PDouglas12 at aol.com]

Hi Gang,

I received my Hex Key cover from Ernesto today, finally.   This was, frankly, 
after I sent a number of escalating strong emails, suggesting that he is not 
supposed to accept money in May and send goods in August.   To his credit, he 
remained a gentleman, despite his less than candid early promises which even 
included a false tracking number a month or two ago.   

I would have to say the quality of the cover is adequate, though certainly 
not commensurate with the beautiful finish on my new Elecraft Hex Key.   The 
base of the cover is made of plywood, not uniformly finished, but the plexiglass 
top is clean (one scratch, but not significant).   Considering the aggravation 
factor, I would certainly not order another cover from him.   Unfortunately, 
I am not aware of any competing business, so if you have to have a cover, he 
may be the only game in town.   If you do order from him, keep after him and be 
prepared for a long siege.
