Sin does Frisco // part 2

redbenjoe - 2009-02-04 21:35

safe to assume that part 1 may get closed/deleted Smile
-----------------------------

Get ready for a long feedback post -
but not really long enough.

because if sin can invest what might have totaled a few DAYS of his life -- just to do one member one humongous favor -
then - we can devote a few minutes to know about it -- right ?? Big Grin

this is an aprrox. tally of went down on this one::

1. sin locates a one-owner m90 -- within an hour from his home

2.he convinces the seller to put it on s2g -to offer us all a fair chance at it.

3. then , he makes this post in our chat area--
"...........i might be able to help out"

what an understatement !!!
this is the 'help'

4. a long series of PMS, emails and phone calls to make all the many arrangements

5. a trip to his bank for lots of cash

6. a long trip from oakland to san franscico --traffic (yuk) --and crossing the famous 'earthquake bridge' Smile

7. testing and testing --the m90

8. a trip to gather up the bubble wrap and both cartons

9. a LONG time to pack it to the MAX

10. another trip to the shipper

----------------
the result is that an s2g member (me) gets a real good m90--all tested , packed perfectly -sent immediately = HAPPY DAYS Smile

but the story is that sin made this offer to help --knowing that all these big efforts would be involved--

and for all that --he deserves the cover story in the next BBDB !! Big Grin

and he also deserves a world of THANKS-
we just cannot over-state what a great guy might do.
------------

btw --if this exact type of extraordinary deed got done once per decade --it would be plenty -
ya think ??

well - how about twice in FOUR DAYS !!!
coming soon....read about GORDIE Big Grin

--------------------

oops --forgot to mention -this things got it ALL
:: knobs , eject button, antennas, battery cover, even the handle !!--original stuff Smile

sinister - 2009-02-05 16:23

shouldn't be talking about the "B" word. they might go looking for you, and i don't know you if they do Leaving

eric - 2009-02-05 16:25

Very nice team work guys. Very nice. Well worth it! Looks like a winner Ira. It has the official eject button too!

johnnygto - 2009-02-05 16:31

AWESOME, this is what makes members here so great, there might be a few bad apples, but alot of good ones too!!

Glad to see that M90 in great hands!

Johnny

redbenjoe - 2009-02-05 16:39

eric !!
forgot to tell you this :

my apologies - you were nice enough to offer me an m60 eject button -- i ended up getting an m80 button --which (i think) is identical to your m60-

BUT --even though those look identical to the m90 button -- thats only from the outside view -

from the backside (where it counts) Smile
it was not long enough to trip the eject mechanism-

so -- this same sinister person ( Big Grin )
finally provided the "official" m90 one-

a few months ago.

More great transaction in the family! Despite Ira being involved! Laugh Out Loud

This is too awsome! Great job! Big Grin
