[Rhodes22-list] Ok, boys & girls, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS

Mon Apr 14 14:01:55 EDT 2008

OK, folks, here is one vote against not being
insistent when your instincts say to go for it.....
 and one vote FOR not taking NO for an answer.

this has been quite a hunt for this
connector.....Mike, your info was right on but I
didn't need 50 & they were out of stock anyhow at
Digikey (yea, the manufacturer...)..that led me to
Annapolis whick sent me to a super electronics store
called Baynesville Electronics in Towson, (nope, not
there.., either...

Well, I just got to thinkin'...these connectors MUST
have been in the radio box as SS did not supply them
when he installed it...so I thought I'd give Standard
Horizon another try.

WELL.... Got Tim at SH..... Tim knows STUFF. Tim is
HELPFUL. (I sent Tim pictures...)
"Yea, he says....these are ours...who told  you they
weren't??? He was NOT happy that I got misinformation.

Anyhow...rather than sell them to me after all the
bushes we've shaken, he's just getting a few & sending
them along.

SAME....DARN....THING......We've been looking all over
for.

It's been fun, though...and I've learned a lot.

Thanks guys. Y'all are great for helping out....

I'll have to send pix of the finished installation.
whew!
