[TowerTalk] Chushcraft striks again #$%^@^%^

[Chet Moore]

Hi Wayne,

I haven't had many problems with Cushcraft.  I bought  my cushcraft xm-240 
used and knew it had a blown inductor in the reflector.
I called them told them I had purchased it used and the part I needed.  I 
had it in hand 3 days later.   Today was Columbus Day. Some banks here are 
open, some are not,  Virginia beach public works worked today,  Chesapeake 
did not.

Give em a try tomorrow, its possible they were closed for Columbus day.

p.s.

You are gonna love that XM-240,  I too used the K7LXC dimensions
