[Premium-Rx] WJ-8718 Parts

Thu Oct 25 11:38:00 EDT 2018

I have used this seller on a number of occasions and he (and wife) are 
reliable and friendly.  The parts are now listed with their functional 
descriptions after I asked him to be more specific in his listings.  I 
have had some issues from time to time with lost parts -- one WJ 
preselector was caught up in customs, and finally arrived here, but just 
so everyone is aware that sometimes there are issues with Turkish mail 
to U.S. customs...
