There are a few manufacturers having issues with getting motors right now; Particularly if they came from Japan. The thread is about the new Bishop machines that Franco is working on and I would rather keep this a little on track. If you are waiting on a machine and have not tried to reach Franco via email or via PM on here I would rather offer him the benefit of the doubt before posting about bad communication on here. If you have indeed exhausted all avenues of communication I can understand feelings of frustration but please do keep a cool head on here and give him a legitimate shot at responding to you. We work really hard to keep this community friendly and I would rather not see this change.
