shout out to iron trap garage

For some time now, I've been searching for the three chromed bezels that surround the controls on a 39 radio...placed wanted ads on here to no avail....
Iron trap had such a radio listed on eBay for $75.00, BUT an additional $100.00 shipping to my New Zealand address, plus eBay collect an additional 15% on top of that total on behalf of a NZ Government tax. Factor in the lousy exchange rate converting it to NZ$$$, it gets bloody expensive, very fast!
I wrote to Matt at iron trap, and asked if he would be prepared to remove those three bezels and send to me as shipping would be considerably less, I told him I'd gladly pay the $75.00 asking price just for the bezels...I really did not even expect an answer...
Much to my surprise Matt replied saying he'd do so for $75.00, I thought he meant $75.00 for the bezels, and $75 shipping, so I PayPaled him $150.00. Then I re-read what he had written; $75.00 all up, including postage! Duh!!! I wrote him, explained what I'd done, asked if he would return the $150.00, and I'd resend the correct amount. He replied to the affirmative, so I used the old PP to remit a further $75.00 to him. True to his word, he returned the $150.00, and sent the bezels, which arrived yesterday, nicely packaged, and I note the postage cost $20.00. This shows incredible honesty and integrity on his part, as well as providing excellent parts at an excellent price...I am most appreciative and wish to acknowledge this gentleman's fine ethics on this board.

Check out his website https://irontrapgarage.com/ he has so much available, it is great to see another younger fellow continuing the flathead lifestyle.
