[Electric Boats] Re: Fw: Friends in the DC propulsion industries.

 

Hi Paul,
Now days there are many surplus dealers working through the internet, they buy merchandise from discontinued product lines, or bankrupt companies, I have bought many motors from these sources and they generally say if a motor is new or used. It sounds a little like your transaction might have been filled out of a group of these type motors, bought in bulk and resold through John. He should have disclosed to you that the motors were new or used.

I have bought quite a few from surplus dealers and have never had a problem. Check any of John's written statements and make sure he did not make any comment about motor conditions.

Best of luck if you continue on.

Ron

The particular vendour I was dealing with at the time was most unhelpfull and would not deal in US credit cards but wanted cash in his bank account before he would do bussiness with me.
> I then much to my regret around August 2009 ordered from John Fiorenza of MarsElectricllc three motors which arrived at the Marina where I am at, of the three one was new, two used of which one had a very bad burned commentator,bent casing and broken brush holder. John's answer after many e/m's of complaints was he will send me a new brush holder assembly which he did. I have written to him on numerous ocations that I was not happy about installing used motors in my boat when I ordered and paid for new motors. His answer to that was that his motors was very robust and if anything down the line goes faulty he will work with me, yeh like sending me used and faulty motors in the first place. He refuses to at least replace one of the two used motors and now no longer answers my mail.
> Last mail I recieved from him he refuses to make good on supplying me with used motors, so my fellow boaters be carefull out there.
