FWIW,..I had never heard of these folks, so in light of recent developments with Macs, I placed an order. Email said a tracking number would be sent when shipped, excellent. A week goes by, no tracking number so I call and was told they had an ice storm with no service (ups/usps) for several days. Gal puts me on hold, comes back and says Yep, order is in shipping dept. Later that day, a guy called and told me those parts are not in stock. Just saying.

I have bought a lot of parts from Third Generation, On line and at Hershey, WONDERFUL company to deal with.

Just a little bit of "tongue-in-cheek".

Possibly similar to thinking: "Watch-out for the lion with the huge, yellow beach ball".

I had been in this store at least three times over the years, as I spent many months of my life attending one course or another at the FAA Academy in OKC.... you know, something to do on a Saturday morning besides sitting in a hotel room. I NEVER once left that store with a warm & fuzzy feeling. I felt like many of the 'in-house-manufactured' items were pathetic recreations.
