did you pay by credit card?
See if the charge has posted if so dispute the charge and nix the order.

Could be nothing but why chance it if they are going under.

Here's an Allpar article, too.

Why the three capacitors, Roppa?


Steve


Not sure. It has been 30 years since I last made an electrical circuit. I just found the circuit diagram on the web and bought the parts. Cost was less than $2. It has a very smooth, steady output so maybe that is what the capacitors are doing? Input can be anything from 8v to 18v.

Seems to,

You can PM me some details and I can forward it if you want.  But I bet if you log out and try again it should work.

 Thanks for your help Katfish, will pm you some details.    :thumbsup:

Looks like the website's down as well.  Not a good sign.  That sucks if they went under, hate to lose vendors.

I ordered tach circuit , clock set and gauges lens and all I can say - they are brilliant. No problems with communication, fast emails, fast shipping, cheap shipping to EU, very well packed, and the manuals they attach are so easy to follow.
Their sets are not cheap but hey they're worth every $ spent.
Really no hassle.

    Thanks for your feedback Willard !       Seems they are a top end company !!!

     TDB,   I have had an email back from Greg at RT-ENGINEERING, he explained that they are digging themselves out of the ice storm and they will get back to me as soon as they can.

      I told him not to worry, and that i would wait until he got things sorted out !


                                                                     :cheers:   Cudaneil.

don't worry, be patient. I even had to ask them to sign a special extra declaration for the customs and they did it in 48h. so I think they have some unexpected problems now due to the storm.
