Next message: Joel Wilkins: "T&T: Multimeters"
I too have had great customer service from TAD. Foley has never given me
the time of day and the one time I really would buy from them was for an
expensive exhaust elbow for a Perkins that I had to buy while I was on the
phone or the price would go up by the next morning. I found a better one
elsewhere at a better price. TAD, by the way, did not have one and did give
me the name of another source.
