Well I cant say that would be the best approach either as I have no personal interest in his company. I can only tell what I know of the situation. I have not spoken to Bill in quite awhile my self, so the current situation may have changed. Everyones turn around time can change. I have waited extended periods of time from various vender's for parts or other items from this forum also. In this hobby the vender's are at the mercy of the manufacturers. That is all there is too that.  Asiatam is notorious for slow delivery as they only make their products in small lots. Every one is different.
