Several weeks ago I became interested in a solid state replacement for the
Voltage Stabilizer used in the TR250 and the TR6. I received a couple of
schematics from the list and on a whim I did a Google search for a
Solid-State TR voltage regulator, or some such name.
I found a company that was offering them for $20.00. It was a decent site
with good descriptions, etc. They preferred to sell using PayPal. I placed
an order and paid through PayPal and waited for the part to arrive, and
waited, and waited. After approximately two weeks, I sent a polite email
requesting an update. No response! A week later I sent a more demanding
email. No response!
I went to the PayPal site and filed a complaint. Well a couple of days ago,
they came back and said, yes indeed the supplier had not sent the part and
apparently weren't going to! PayPal is refunding my money, less $1.53 for
some reason! But I am getting most of it back!!
The company is: Benway/Tanner Enterprises, although that name is nowhere on
their web site!!

I would recommend that you all avoid doing business with them at all costs!!
Good luck and of course YMMV and definitely NFI!!
