Is Charlie Price on this forum?

Would like to contact him.

I bought one of his emulsion tube extractors for Strom 97 and the extraction tap came broken in half. Would like to see him for a replacement.

Thanks.

Hey Tony.....I really don't believe Charlie has anything to do with this forum. At least, I have never seen him participate here, although we've certainly had a few heated discussions herein about what a friendly, easy-going and all-around nice guy he is to deal with, especially if you have problems as a customer. Even better than that, most folks having problems with parts or service many times end-up talking with Charlie's charming wife, whom most would say is going to treat you to one of the most-pleasant experiences you will ever have on a telephone with a lady. Me personally....I've unfortunately never had the pleasure. Good luck! DD

Thanks V8Coopman.

Sorry. I did not know he had a website.

Why the negative remarks?

That is not what I was referring to at all.

Think about it; how does a tap get broken in shipping?

I just hope that he will send you a proper unbroken tool. He owes you.

We only want to warn about what you might run into if you are able to get in touch with him.

Thanks. Have been provided with adequate info by informed members to prepare me for my call tomorrow. Thanks to all who helped.

Terry,OH · 03-23-2021, 06:13 PM

The tap is 6-32 look at your local hardware store.

TonyM · 03-23-2021, 06:34 PM

Wow. A lot of bad press for Charlie on the old internet machine. A lot of angry former customers. I'll call tomorrow and see what happens.

Thanks friend.

That sounds like the easiest solution.

Bob NH · 03-23-2021, 07:06 PM

I too tried to do business there once with no good results.

Ken/Alabama · 03-23-2021, 07:25 PM

Good luck. He soused me several years ago.

JM 35 Sedan · 03-23-2021, 10:56 PM

I bought some Stromberg 97 throttle shaft's from him about 12 years ago, and they were so poorly machined that there was absolutely no way I would consider using them. I can't recall now all of the unpleasant conversations we had trying to resolve this, but I never did any business with him again after that.

How is someone with such a poor reputation stay in business?
