Well, never enough yet how much is too much? I ordered some spare parts from a couple vendors in China and now have shipping problems. Got some ceramic tube sockets in without problems using speedpak, but seems some other parts wont ship to the US. Seller says my (and about 4 other addresses ) all say "remote address" and wont ship. Just be aware in following my thread. Hopefully this will be resolved soon. In the meantime, I'm having to use an address in Mexico to get my parts. What a pain!
If I could find the place called "Somewhere", I could find "Anything" Icon_confused
