Now why didn't I think of that?Why go to all that trouble for a replacement?
You could have easily fixed that issue with a small pair of vice-grips...

I completely understand you, mate! It remembered me when after BCT, they said to me: you're going to َArmy archives!Spent part of the afternoon chasing thru the index for the 880 boxes of the Fairchild archives at NASM and found some neat stuff. There were drawings done for a proposal to buils the AT-21 in both cargo and personnel transport versions. Found they have a copy of the released SRM and the Erection and Maintenance manuals, as well as a Duramold process book. Lots of drawings and photos in there too. Now I have to see about getting copies of the manuals.
Life is a learning experience.A friend works for a company that packages nuts and seeds for sale as snacks. They have a pair of great big German machines that do most of the work. They are cleaned between say packing salted peanuts and packing health snacks. After cleaning the machines wouldn't start, the engineers did everything they could think of to restart them but they just sat there.
In a panic the boss rang the manufacturer and demanded someone come out. A top man was sent via 2 taxis and 2 aeroplanes from South Germany. He arrived listened to the engineers nodded and turned on the compressed air. The machine burst into life packing snacks.
The man from Germany went straight back to Manchester airport without even taking his coat off. My mate reckons the forgotten compressed air on/off button will cost the company about €5,000.

i kid you not, my great grandfather had a rolls royce and and the exact same thing happened to him!There is a story that a man in Egypt owned a Rolls Royce and an axle broke when he tried to cross a dry creekbed. He contacted RR and in response they sent a man out with the replacement part, fixed the car and left with the broken axle.
The owner heard nothing more about the incident and did not receive a bill. He wrote them a letter asking when the bill was going to arrive. In response he got a letter back from RR saying that no RR had EVER broken an axle.
And no one ever escaped from Stalag 13, either.
I wonder if an extended warranty would be worth it.The perfect woman will be rolling off of the assembly line in a just a couple of years.
.....and they will be programmed to ask you to write them into your will, kill you shortly afterwards and the money goes to the manufacturer.The perfect woman will be rolling off of the assembly line in a just a couple of years.
