Just heard from Dave yesterday afternoon. He injured his shoulder and a few other things going on. He's slowly working through orders so hang in there.

Just checked with Dave on Ebay and he is no longer with Ebay he's basically unregistered. I hope all is OK he's a great guy and a asset to this hobby.

I just firmed up an order with Dave on Wednesday December 2 so my emails are being handled back and forth with no unusual delays. I will post here when I receive my parts.

Yes just got an email yesterday from Dave he ran into some unfortunate issues with Ebay so he had to regroup, and as oldslotsman stated he is going to be selling on Bonanza. He said he should be back up an selling within the next few weeks. So all good

I must agree whole heartily with all the BE-PATIENT comments, as having been involved in this field for over 45 years now and dealing with Bernie Berten, Dave's father, and then Dave after his taking over of the company in all that time I have nothing but GOOD THINGS to say about their operation since the 70's!
1. Dave's recently leaving EBAY, through no fault of his own due to their handling of his account and after fighting them for months then transferring his complete online inventory to BONANZA, which being in slot & parts sales myself I must say is a great undertaking of time as in today's times where a computer is supposed to make life more easier to handle it is also very time consuming as I myself must limit my time on my computer or I get no actual physical work done in my shop!
2. As mentioned above, he is a ONE MAN operation and I praise him for his due diligence but he is juggling a lot of balls so please be mindful of this!
3. Last but not least, yes, he has had physical issues this last year and being one of the OLD TIMERS in this field as I am also, us old farts do not always move as quick as we did!
I communicated with him last Thursday and fully understand what is going on as I myself do not deal anymore with EBAY so I fully understand the recent situation that he is going thru!
So please forgive me for getting on my soap box but we all should respect the Old Timers involved in this hobby, of which there are many, too many to name but you know who you are!
May You All Stay Healthy in today's world!
BONA FORTUNA!

Well done Monti for explaining this.
Its not just the US, he is dealing with collectors all over Europe as well!
Packing up parts from a huge Inventory is very time consuming, Being a Sole Trader myself, I don't envy him one bit!
He is trying to do the right thing and help collectors WORLDWIDE to complete their machines from his fathers vast Inventory, GOOD FOR HIM!
Patience is a VIRTUE!
