Jeff, First of all let me thank everyone that sent in a reply on this, This site is by FAR the best on the internet. But I disagree with you about Tri-tronics strongly, I don`t rip off my customers, and I don`t think suppliers should rip off their customers.I called them this morning and their price has gone from $34.95 to $58.89 for the oem, I asked them why there was such a big increase in price from the last one I bought and their answer was, and I quote " we aren`t selling as many of them as we used to so were not getting the large quantity price break anymore" end of quote.One item does not make up a part order when your buying as much as Tri-tronics is from a major supplier like Thomson. Supply and demand says; low supply, high demand = Increase in price, Economics 101. I think they are sticking it to all of us techs and I for one will take my business elsewhere.
