Re: [TCML] pole xfmr - Information Unlimted

["resonance" <resonance@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bob Ianinni, owner of Info Unltd, will not be back on the list for some 
time.  He was involved in a very severe auto accident a few months ago that 
left him paralyzed from the waist down.  He is in a wheel chair, and 
recently had a heart attack and stroke.  He is not in good shape and may not 
survive.

I also recently spoke with him regarding the past quality of some of his 
kits.  He said he is aware of those problems and has now corrected them all. 
He said every kit they offer has now been built and tested in his lab.  He 
offers no kits that do not work properly.

Bob also said in many cases people would substitute different parts for the 
recommended parts in his parts list, and then complain because something 
didn't work.

I'm not defending any prior non working kits, just bringing everyone on this 
list up to date on his problems and his attempts to rectify poor past 
performance of his companies kits.
