[R-390] building new components

[Dan Arney]

Paul,
I have a lot of the parts in the list.
I will not make any more of the parts on spec as I have lost my A** on 
the flakes that want the part and say they will order but when push 
comes to shove and you ask for deposit or money up front they come up 
with some asinine excuse and disappear from the scene.
Then after you go to the cost, time and effort.
They then say I charge too much.

A good example are all of the parts that have been done on CNC centers 
boils down to not just the programming but the proofing of the work 
making a sample, and all of the leg work dealing with all of the 
vendors. Selling, packing, shipping, ebay, paypal cost, trips to the 
post office, UPS charges, employee costs taxes, insurance and my fixed 
overhead.

I have had excellent luck in dealing with hams from all over the world.
No bum checks from over 2000 dealings, and I do not hold checks to 
clear, as a matter of fact I stick the checks in my briefcase and when I 
get several after a few weeks I then deposit them.
  AS we all know money talks and we ALL know what WALKS.

As I slide off of my .02 slippery sliding soapbox and go beddy bye.
73 to all and have a happy PC holiday season.

BUT ABOVE ALL A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL WITH BEING 
THANKFUL OF OUR MILITARY PEOPLE PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE THAT GIVE US THE 
MOST FREEDOM OF ANY PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.
In my flying career of making over 120 trips around the world into 117 
countries along with living in 12  for some period of time.
Believe me their is nothing putting your down in the USA and being glad 
you are home. So screw the ACLU and all of their rabble rausers.

73
