I would rather find my items another way, but Ebay makes the seemingly hard to find items show themselves. The only drawback is will you get it? I purchased (won and paid for) a hydraulic cylinder that is about 120 miles away. You would think that after 7 days (per the seller it was dropped off and sent parcel post on the 21st) it would be on my doorstep. Insurance (or the option to purchase) wasn't offered by the seller, and while we have had a great rapport over the past week I still don't have the cylinder I paid for. In all the dealings with sending/receiving items sold/bought through Ebay I've never had any problems. I've even had a return after the item wasn't as described... in this case seller has a great feedback rating and has replied to all of my emails. I wouldn't guess he has anything to hide so I have to believe he did ship it. He even claims to have put the addy on the cylinder should it break out of the box. Unless he put the wrong addy on it... but even if he got the state wrong the zip should steer it towards the right direction. Parcel post has up to 9 days to deliver, so I'm going to give it a couple more. Still I'm going to guess item isn't going to show and I'm probably out $90. I guess there's a first for everything. I paid by credit card via paypal so I guess I could always dispute the charge.

They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
