Welp......
I was able to get on Steve's (scrapper-23jr) list for a refurb'd EFM DF520, and he was very honest and "upfront" about being "Iffy" on getting one.....very matter of factly "maybe"........
Well, I haven't been looking very hard since then, but I was still keeping "an ear to the ground", so to speak. This AM, Steve emailed and said that thing's looked pretty dismal as he lost one of his suppliers of used EFM's. In other words, "possible, but not very probable"....................
So, after checking with the local dealers I know of, another "whammy" came when I found that Keystoker is about 4 -5 mos. behind in delivery, and that's also "iffy". I got a Harman VF3000 coming if I want it for $4500, but the more I find out about Harman, and their dealer system/policies, the less I want to mess with them.
I can get the Keystoker KA-6 through one dealer tax free under the NYS "Capitol Improvement Tax Law", and I was told the same by other dealers, but, when I approached the Harman dealer with that, he stated, "yeah, if I install it you can, ....otherwise, you have to pay the tax !"..........sounds to me like a dealer trying to reinforce his existence.
When you got two or three that say no problem, and one that quotes another.....makes me suspicious....
Anyway, now, unless I can grab something quick, based on current conditions, I might be screwed........demand is going crazy.....
