Having not bought from T&R, but having talked at some length to them, I
can say they were very willing to help the amateur. At the time I could
not come up with the $200 or so for freight, but the transformer was
only $275 with Guaranty! They were vary accommodating for someone who
certainly wasn't go to make a dent in their profit margin.

Ken,

T&R is a good company which does a lot of business. For a number of
years they have provided good service to the commercial as well as the
hobbyist coilers (until someone threatened them and lost us all another
good resource).

T&R would go out of their way to try and reduce shipping costs to the
individual (that meeting the truck you presented as a bad thing was one
way they tried to help reduce our costs). BTW-They would have been glad
to ship it to your dock or a trucking depot for the regular rates if you
had only asked.

Please don't bad mouth a company when you only have speculation,
especially those companies which are willing to deal with us (smile) and
have provided great service in the past.

Off my soapbox and back to making arcs...

Brian B.

I got a quote from T&R some time ago. The best description of age or
condition was "they look great" or something silly like that when I kept
asking. It all seemed shifty. I'm not sure how the logistics of meeting
up
with a truck on the highway to pickup the transformer works either. I
wansn't too upset to take my business elsewhere in the end.
