It is my strong feeling that your post was made in good faith, and
therefore I accept as fact that you believe it has something to do with
a child who is sick and the owner is away from the business.

Howie, I really do not know. I've not done any business with them; just
following this thread on saa.

Someone inquired about the matter on Astromart, and someone mentioned
something about a sick child.

. . someone mentioned something about a sick child.

Darian, I was not casting any aspersion on you - it was just my
tongue-in-cheek way of saying I have reason to believe that's not the
real story.
I'm in the hole for $1000 that Scopetronix owes me since early
2005.

Clear skies and perfect collimation,

No problem, Howie. That'd be a shame to use "a sick child" as a made up
excuse. DR

That's been about a week with no reply. I have just resent the e-mail
request to three of their e-mail addresses, ,
, . That seemed to get a
response last time, though I am really sorry to burden them with
multiple e-mails.

It has now been another six days. I have opened a dispute with Paypal.
I understand this will send an e-mail to Scopetronix regarding the
issue and I have tried to make the message as clear as possible. Under
Paypal rules I have 20 days to covert this to a claim if Scopetronix do
not respond.

It seems Scopetronix has refunded my payment and that they did so on
the same day I opened the dispute with Paypal, i.e. 17th. I haven't
heard from them whether they have the Digi-T rings in stock but I'm
glad to get the refund ... and it proves that a response is possible.

I mentioned on an alternate thread .. I cancelled my Scopetronix order
( no response though ) and bought the part I needed from ebay at a
third of the original price ..

lo' and behold .. the senders address was the same area/street as
scopetronix ... I guess for whatever reason .. there is a "get rid of
the equipment" sale going on ;o)

Good to know.

In my own personal dealings with the man behind the the curtains at the
subject company, he has always been nothing less than a complete
gentleman.

(And by gentleman I really mean douchebag but that kind of thing is
often hard to convery in a text-only medium.)

Care to let us know the seller's id?

Does anybody have news about Scopetronix? Also, I could not find a
phone number to call Scopetronix, would anybody be able to provide a
phone number or address?

Thanks
