How about the TR6 choke cables and the TR6 Green/Black radiator hoses. They
were both on backorder for several years, yet Charles continued to advertise
them in every flyer and catalog. Or for that matter, how about the new
comprehensive TR3 catalog that was promised years ago (initially even before
the TR6 Catalog.) Is Charles still promising that one? I agree with Irv.
There are alternatives, and we all have the right to "vote with our feet."
I used to buy all my parts from TRF, even if they were a little more,
because I believed that they were re-investing in new parts tooling etc.,
which would help the hobby. Now I shop. I think they really started to go
wrong when they started having those monthly specials that they only sent out
with part orders. They offended me because they exhibited a real "What have
you done for me lately?" attitude.
