Default Charlie Price Vintage Speed

Is Charlie Price on this forum?

Would like to contact him.


I bought one of his emulsion tube extractors for Strom 97 and the extraction tap came broken in half. Would like to see him for a replacement.

Thanks.

Hey Tony.....I really don't believe Charlie has anything to do with this forum. At least, I have never seen him participate here, although we've certainly had a few heated discussions herein about what a friendly, easy-going and all-around nice guy he is to deal with, especially if you have problems as a customer. Even better than that, most folks having problems with parts or service many times end-up talking with Charlie's charming wife, whom most would say is going to treat you to one of the most-pleasant experiences you will ever have on a telephone with a lady. Me personally....I've unfortunately never had the pleasure. Good luck! DD

Why the negative remarks?

That is not what I was referring to at all.

Think about it; how does a tap get broken in shipping?

I just hope that he will send you a proper unbroken tool. He owes you.

We only want to warn about what you might run into if you are able to get in touch with him.

Wow. A lot of bad press for Charlie on the old internet machine. A lot of angry former customers. I'll call tomorrow and see what happens.

I bought some Stromberg 97 throttle shaft's from him about 12 years ago, and they were so poorly machined that there was absolutely no way I would consider using them. I can't recall now all of the unpleasant conversations we had trying to resolve this, but I never did any business with him again after that.
