I would like to add something important to this thread based on both personal & professional experiences with Ecklers / Macs etc.... I worked for Ecklers for years rebuilding and restoring some of their electrical motors but no longer do (directly) because they had issues with paying their sub contractors when it came to the parts that their customers requested be rebuilt / restored. Now days I rebuild for a middle person and they deal with Ecklers from their end - I just get paid from them when the job is done - "BUT" - when my work is completed and ready to send back to their customer, I use Ecklers shipper numbers (such as UPS...) and when the total comes up on the screen, Ecklers gets an immediate 25% to 40% discount on their shipping rates
that they are charging their customers FULL PRICE ! ! ! So, not only do they charge extra for both shipping & handling, they also receive a volume discount on anything that goes through their shippers number. Sadly, there are times when only Ecklers / Macs are offering a part that is otherwise unavailable from any of the others vendors and your either step up and pay them or do without the parts you need.
