I am so sorry that I did not check my email earlier to respond to this quicker. Steve is the best person, collector and repairman that Nick and I have ever had the pleasure of working with! He is honest, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. When we were brand new to the hobby Steve took us under his wing and taught us so much. He has restored all of our reproducers and recorders! We have literally sent him a bag of pieces and he sent back a perfect reproducer at an unbelievably fair price. He continues to be the only person we trust with our collection and he is our go to guy for questions and advice. Anyone who would say a word against him either has their own issues or the whole thing is a huge misunderstanding. I am glad to see all the support for him on the list. He has earned it! Melissa

I have sent Steve parts, that if they were to be lost or misplaced, they would definitely be a needle in a haystack to find and re-purchase. However, since I "TRUST" Steve to take care of them in a competent and professional matter, I have not worried. In fact, if my parts had been lost for whatever reason, I would still trust him that it was beyond his control, because of who he is. Who would offer to send the parts at no charge in this day and age, just to make up for some misunderstanding??? I have "trusted" a motor for my Fairy Phonograph lamp to a collector/electrician, who I know is making every effort to repair it - and, has he had it since last fall... some things take time. If he loses it, or misplaces it - I am screwed, but I 'TRUST" him and he hasn't proved me wrong. But.. to make an issue over a hinge block is another issue in itself, as is a week of waiting... get over it, if it got lost it can easily be replaced and it wouldn't be Steve's fault. > From: pjfra...@mac.com> Date: Sun, 24 Mar 2013 21:03:23 -0700 > To: phono-l@oldcrank.org > Subject: [Phono-L] Slamming Steve, was: Attn: Steve Medved, re: original > hinge block > > Interesting. > > Just found a quote online, from someone we're getting to know better today, > and which can also be applied to this unfortunate situation: > > "This is indeed unfortunate. > But everyone please remember that the people > who do things such as this set up bad vibes > for themselves in the universe. > Sooner or later, those vibes catch up with them. > > People are ultimately and individually responsible for their deeds, and what > ever they > do in their lives sticks to them." > > -- Chuck Richards, from >http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12347 > > > So according to your own philosophy, the universe will soon be pointing > "certain tools" right back at you. > > Hope they're not too sharp. > > -- Peter > pjfra...@mac.com > > On Mar 24, 2013, at 6:49 PM, chuck richards <chuc...@all2easy.net> wrote: > > > No slamming intended.
