sounds like a run a round to me. his ebay add is filled with lies and deception. why the pics of so many different saws, as if it were one? theres a lot of pics out there of what saw mods should look like but unknowing people searching ebay that dont have a clue what it should look like wont know the difference. then the odd duck on ebay comes upon the add and says wow id like to have a saw to really impress my friends ,and clicks buy it now. there goes some hard earned cash down the toilett. i for one have reported his adds several times to ebay for false advertising and deception.
Terry in all fair ness to the guy the big hold up was the large size main bearing for the 7900 was back ordered,, and I worked online for two straight days trying to find one that size,just wasnt any as they come outa Japan. But I did find a place in AZ. that could put the balls in my bearing making it a hibred. So off it went and when it came back the dern thing just wouldnt go on the crank. So he sent a brand new one out and it came back and works just fine. He is within driving distance about 40 miles and Iv been over a couple of times and hes been over here, seems very knowledgeable to talk too. I will know one of these days I hope,,
