Jim, I've dealt with Albert many, many times and never had a problem, as a
matter of fact, he has sent more parts free of any charges (inc. shipping)
than he has charged me for, I am not doubting you, but, my dealings with the
Fisher family (Elizabeth also), have been way, way above board, and I have
found him to be extremely trust worthy.  "FT"
