I was a very poor and very V35 lusting college graduate. They had the CHEAPEST price on the version I wanted. (black and white, have since bought color head). To make a long story short, they promised delivery in two weeks. Four weeks rolled around and I was fuming mad. We made a phone call to them and told them if they didn't deliver in 48 hours to cancel the order!!!!! Then I called and wrote the consumer advocate at the Milwaukee Journal at the time and he got on the horn with them. The very next day, a next day air shipment arrived at my house. I don't think one should ever have to be a jerk to get gear. That $1200 I paid for the enlarger in 1981 was (and still is to me) a good sum of money. Still have the enlarger. Its arrival was so difficult, that parting with it would be a tragedy. gck
