October ends with no response from Bruce to my email of two weeks previous, so off goes another one.

There it is again - the question about the silver case.

So, nothing complicated, just a reminder of what I'm expecting and an offer still to pay the agreed price for the silver case as well as the power valves.

The call was productive in the sense that I could have the silver case, but tediously predictable in that nothing had been done with the amp, irrespective of the issue of re-covering the case.

It seemed so straight-forward and would hopefully break the deadlock:

This is really not what I wanted to hear.

I mentioned the replacement power valves and this was the first topic in a surprise email I received from Bruce later the same day (see below right). This email contained even more unwelcome information: they simply couldn't get the silver case re-covered! This despite being told during my first call on 3 December 2008 that "Nate" would do it next day.

So I called the company and to my surprise got straight through to Bruce. The discussion focused on the availability or otherwise of a new head-only case.

So here's a short but complete list of what I'm expecting - again.

We finally seemed to be getting somewhere after 7 days of exchanging emails.

An unprecendented number of emails were exchanged on 16 April 2008, this one being far from the last.
