Re: (ET) Hold onto your $100 - focus on cross reference parts list, etc



Since Don has clarified the situation even more, and I don't think the 200 (or so) of us are going to come up with $500 each to form a company to buy out Bill, I think we should focus some of this discussion on creating a cross reference parts list.
 
Send me any cross reference part numbers & manufacturer sources you have - whether a direct replacement for the original GE, or a complete modification that seems to work, & either saves money, enables a repair when no part was available, or makes some improvement.
 
I will try to create a parts list in Excel (since that can work for Mac users also) format that is similar to original, but with extra columns added.

Subject: (ET) Hold onto your $100


After lurking on this list the past week, there's a couple of things you should know:
 
The Costa Rica guy already has a deposit down with Bill for everything.
 
The sale price is about $100,000.00 (must be one big organic farm).
 
It includes everything - all parts, dies, jigs, blueprints, records, databases, cross-reference lists, everything.
 
There are some things he doesn't want (i.e. snow blower blades), but Bill has agreed to warehouse them for him for some time.
 
Bill's not releasing the name and address of the buyer until at least the deal is done, and the buyer agrees.
 
Bill's not accepting any orders per the terms of the agreement with the Costa Rica guy.
 
So put your hundred dollar checks away, it won't do any good. Bill is not even listening to any counter-offers.
 
Frankly, our only hope is this deal falls through.
