I did see that there are remanufactured ones out online.
Are they way off on looks and /or size compared to OEM?
From what I've seen the finish is a bad paint job, no effort to make correct or even look good, if you need painted they should be OK if you want to refinish but if you need the gold cad send it to Booster Dewey

170 for the Midland and 140 for the Hemi. Hemi was sent out last Thursday.
So the Midland is on ebay now.

Dewey had no combo deals unless you send him 10 boosters in at a time.

My Midland went for a paltry 47.00 on e bay. I sent it to Dewey for him. Someone in Colorado.

My booster is back from Dewey.  :bananasmi

Mine came back in nice shape as well so imagine my surprise when i got home to find it accompanied by a second box from Booster Dewey  :clueless: :dunno:

Turns out another customer's item was addressed to me by mistake. I immediately contacted BD to let him know that i'd be forwarding it (via UPS) to the rightful owner and that i would be glad to do so. The paperwork inside gave me all the info necessary. I also explained what the (small) charge was and that he needn't worry about reimbursing me. Today i received a check to cover the UPS cost :) I called BD to thank him and received his blessings when i asked if he wouldn't mind my posting about it.

The man does good work, is honest and not afraid to show it. If i ever become two or even threefornow he's penned in for any future rebuilds :thumbsup:

Thank you Booster Dewey :cheers:  :cheers:

I wonder how Johnny Cash would rewrite 'One Piece At A Time' if he was building my Challenger :roflsmiley:

Thanks BD :thumbsup:
