Maybe this is what has been causing the delay in getting my parts.....

[Jim Laumann]

I have been waiting for what seems like "forever" for some parts for my Delta benchtop sander....and they
still aren't available....see link below - could explain alot of things....

Don't worry Jim, once they wash the salt water out of the parts they'll be selling them to you at a discount............LOL.................Regards, Rod.

I had a BMW ordered a few years ago and it went to the bottom of the sea, took 3 extra months for another one to be built and shipped, 7 month wait overall. I hope the fish have enjoyed it!

The front fell off. LOL

There's probably only 3 guys in Australia that know what I'm talking about :)

Some of them are built so the front doesn't fall off them at all... Apparently cardboard was NOT out when they built this one!

[Eric DeSilva]

I know *exactly* what you are talking about. That was hilarious.

[Joe Vincent 63]

Agreed, very funny! I also have been waiting since August for a laser assembly for my 18-900 drill press that was cracked in the box. Still nothing.

Beachcombing might be a lucrative hobby down there these days!

Delta was bought by One World Technolgies. They were SUPPOSED to have their new distribution center up and running by the end of Oct 2010. Didn't happen!

Don't worry, they towed it outside of the environment...

For those of us who don't know what you're talking about, why don't you elaborate rather than keep it an inside joke? :confused:

By the way if you find it funny just search Clarke and Dawe on you tube, John Clark is a pretty famous (and funny) Autralian satirist.

If you type "the front fell off" in google, the first half a dozen hits link to the video :) Usually, when I leave it hanging like that, I check that anyone can easily figure out what I'm talking about. I find it more satisfying when I figure it out myself, though :)

[Jim Rimmer]

Thanks for the link, Van and to John for the reference. Shades of Monty Python. :D I thought I was pretty good with Google but never thought of googling "the front fell off".

Try searching for "Fred Dag" on YouTube. John Clarke is a New Zealander who moved to Oz many years ago and Fred Dag was the role that made him famous, in New Zealand at least. Very funny stuff.
