Well some good news is that my video calling out timmy for shafting a customer resulted in him doing the right thing.
His comment on my call-out video:
Look, I am fixing all these issues that it has because it is an old build and it was done over 5 yrs ago. FOR FREE NO CHARGE because he is a veteran. It was not ORIGINALLY SOLD BY ME to the customer. The customer sent in the radio to me! No one else warranty`s this kind of thing for free no way no how and you know it iM the only softee and I take care of veterans radio`s for them. So once again your wrong about me and how the F could you disrespect me buy saying stuff about my vet`s jobs man that is low for sure. He was on a tight budget and the mode switch was just fine when it left here originally just a little worn. I will swap it out tomorrow if I can find a better one in my parts stash, if not it will not get done. And Look, what is wrong with spraying an old control with deoxit? These old radios are like old cars you need to maintain them now and again. And yes it was my fault I left in the gray wire in and caused a board failure!! I made a mistake and I am man enough to admit it!! I admit my mistakes. He will be getting a new les board and this one will be sent to les for updating. This board was installed when les still had the dll line wire boards. Now no more dll wire he has a new version. I said what I said because the guy is wanting it back yesterday and it had been here for about 6 months now. Well it was not supposed to be her that long and he is trying to hurry me so of course I am under big pressure to get it out to him AT MY EXPENSE once again for a VET! I just called the customers Liaison and told him what was going on and he is a friend of mine who has had over 10 radios done by me. It will not be leaving for cali tomorrow un till it is done. Video will be up tomorrow showing everything that will be swapped and fixed. I jumped the gun on saying it would have to stay this way or in other words nothing could be done RIGHT NOW and I forgot to add AT THIS TIME There again I mis spoke and made a mistake It was going to come back to me when I could afford another les board and I was going to have them send it back to me at MY EXPENSE when I had another board and at that time I would take care of it all. Well I do have one now. I found another board in a box I had not gone through when I moved last time. END OF STORY PEROIOD. So Stop lying about me man you are nothing but lies and hearsay and conjecture You NEVER bought a radio from me nor did your friend. I have asked you to prove you did with a picture or pictures and or some of our email correspondence of the the radio that i supposedly sold to you. You claim it was 959 and the transformers were bad from me cleaning it out. YOUR WRONG again. I have never once taken my cleaner and water to a 959 for ANY REASON I have never sold A USED 959 TO ANYONE. The only time it is done is when a radio is VERY DIRTY and or smells like smoke and cannot be cleaned by an air gun completly. The customer gives the final ok for me to do what I need to do to make it clean and functional again and good for another 20 yrs if they do not want it done its up to them NOT ME. And also the `10 turns I do it is 25.00 not 60 you liar. Man your such a liar.
So there are a few problems as any sane person can see.....
1. Calling me out for "bullying his vets jobs" so he can play the "your picking on veterans" card is disgraceful.
Real veterans should call this shmuck out on it.
Once again, I never mentioned veterans, he never mentioned veterans...
He injects "veterans" into it.
2. Now he is going to replace the switch?
Great!
3. He can't afford a new board that he burned up?
Guess he isn't as busy as he says.
4. I don't own a 959. I have no idea where these guys keep getting this.
5. There is nothing wrong with spraying a control with deoxit.
He told this customer to buy a can and keep spraying it to keep the radio working.
I am sure you guys will find this turn of events tragic.
When someone has to make a video like I did to call attention to a customer getting OPENLY SCAMMED it's bad. Very bad.
