I love mico mart. They do have the best micro tools selection anywhere.
That's a shame that your things were basically destroyed during shipping. Geez… I can only imagine the cool things you were going to show us.
And someone stole your eclipse setup… wtf… my jaw dropped when I heard that.
Feel sad that someone would steal from you and vandalise your car. 😞
Hello Fran, I've a new subscriber and have been playing catch-up on your "Viewer Mail" videos. Concerning your Ebay rant. I agree 100% especially with UPS. USPS Is pretty good as I have a good relationship with my carrier. He will always advise me if a parcel has been damaged and give me the opportunity to deny acceptance of the parcel. UPS on the other hand is horrible. I've complained quite often to management about what I call the "Drop and Run". That is ring the bell, drop the package and run like the devil. By the time I get my old bones to the door, UPS is gone and I have a crushed, damaged package. I can offer you one solution that has worked for me. I always ask the Ebay seller (Especially if they do not offer returns) if they will package the item properly with plenty of cushioning AND insure it. I also offer to pay an extra fee for insurance. The thing is that if the seller says they'll pack and ship properly and it still arrives poorly packaged Ebay will usually take your side and allow a return because you have documented the fact in Ebays mail system that you asked the seller to package properly and insure. One other thing in some defense of the drivers is the UPS drivers are tracked by the company and they are only allowed a certain amount of time (In seconds ) to make a delivery. When they pick up their hand held computer it shows a little stick figure man running, the little guy holds still when the driver reaches the door. So the drivers are timed, how long from truck to door, how long they wait and how long to return to the truck. All this was explained to me the last time I took a crushed package to my local UPS center. Thanks Fran GREAT VIDEOS & Sorry for your run of bad luck. Oh yes , Micro-Mark is a great outfit to do business with. My main hobby is collecting and repairing vintage cameras. I'm retired from 40 years in the communications industry and have my own little lab of Heath kit items. Never built a TV but did build their VTVMs and O-scopes etc..
Franck let me .. help me .. from mc2833. and mc3361 or mc3359. I am bulding rc i selfing i jest 27.128mhz
Fran please let me know what glass you need, if I can fit it I will find it in Scotland or Ireland and get it over to you
Fran it's time to move South. Here in Richmond we get 200mb transfer speeds both up and down on Verizon so come on down. Low crime rate too.
Fran, love your channel! Beer cans make excellent shim stock. I just measured the sidewall of one and it's between .003" & .004" thick and you need about .007" so two layers might work. Micromark is great!
North philly eh?, sounds like a rough neighborhood, please be careful Fran.
3d printer for hard to find parts.
Geez – sorry to hear of your recent issues. Hope the last few months have been better. Sending positive vibes your way.
I feel your pain of received goods that are busted up. I got into buying vintage machinist tools and most come in beautiful wooden boxes, well at least till the post office got a hold of them. Anyways I have stopped buying online because of this reason and started searching for local people who have items. Makes it harder to find stuff but at least they aren't busted up….
Cats have 2 plus the 3 that live in the back yard (toooo wild to bring in) They have places to sleep that out of the weather.
MicroMark dot Com sent for a catalog
Move to Vancouver Island Fran. I don't lock my doors and leave my keys in the car. We do have Bears and Cougars though , and the raccoons have wiped out my chickens so I guess we have our problems too.
I love MicroMark! Used a lot of their stuff when I used to build plastic models.
