Hi I've often wondered if there are actually more than two people selling all of the FE's being auctioned. There's not much of a way to tell. I've had orders from various sellers come in combined for shipping over the years.
I've had an "interesting" time with one order from Nichegeek. It took a few more tries than normal to get everything shipped ... Not totally out of the ordinary for the e place, but still interesting. They all came in ok and worked reasonably well. One unit took a while to lock the first time, but it's locked up ok since then. I have had much better luck with the FE's mounted on the PC boards in terms of damage than with "loose" parts. I've had one of the recent FE's show up with a bent corner and a couple of the earlier (three years back) version show up with the same sort of cosmetic damage. The PC board acts as a pretty good shipping protector. Bottom line is still - don't spend more than you can afford to loose. Push back early if something comes in that's not right.

All worked ok , and got lock within a few minutes. One had a bad dent near the RB lamp but it, was functioning fine. I asked for DHL shipping (some sellers never ansvered my DHL question) , and had the units 3 work-days after ordering. All in all a nice experience , (but i still see Morions in their shop , at a 10$ higher price) , i might have been had there.
