KD8HJQ - bad seller

Post by wc4r »

Do not buy from KD8HJQ (Daniel). He sold a "working amplifier" to me for $300. It was a Clipperton V with a promise to obtain the tube. He did not refund the shipping charge difference, packed the unit poorly, it arrived without the tube and in non-working condition. Too dangerous to even plug in! It was in a flood and badly rusted. He made no attempt to disclose ANY out of the ordinary problems with the unit. I tried to send it back for a refund, he refused the package. I had to sue him in court. We'll see where it goes. Avoid Daniel Matheny!

Glad to see a ham who believes in direct action instead of a bunch of posts.

GOOD LUCK AND GOOD HUNTING!!!

Just curious ... when the boat sank were there any survivors? That looks like it was salvaged from an offshore wreck.

I bet someone salvaged the tube and dumped the rest at the local dump where your seller found it.

Good luck and hope you are successful in getting your money back.
