I'm glad this thread exists and that everyone says RandyT is good people. Here' why:
I am a noob here. This is my first post on here I think. I just bought a recroommasters cocktail table and I'm in need of controls and interface cards. For someone just jumping in and doing all the research.. there's a lot of information to absorb. I'm heavily modifying my table. I'm converting my woodend control panels to metal so I can surface mount trackballs, etc. And I'm starting to gravitate towards RandyT's products over Ultimarc's. I want real gold leaf buttons. I like the joystick options better. And I think his optical interface sounds better because I'm doing both trackballs and spinners.. And I want them to use 3 axis and not share 2 axis, so that if you bump one while using the other it won't mess up the game.
However, it is a little scary to place a $500+ order to a site when there's no contact information at all. There is a web form to send a email - and I did that a week ago with no reply. And I did/do have a coupel of questions. My table is ready for me to add controls. So I'm anxious to get started. But I can be somwhat paitent to get the right gear.
I don't want to be like the OP and be rude. That's not a way to get in good favors with the guy who I want to buy gear from. My goal is posting this is to ask...
RandyT, if you're around here these days, did you get my message? I'm ready to order some stuff but I would like to make sure I get all the right stuff ordered at once so I can save on shipping.
RandyT or anyone who can answer - What is ggg turn around time like these days? If I place an order this weekend when could it be shipped out? Has anyone ordered anything recently?
Thanks!

Why don't you try directly PMing him?

I actually did try when I first signed on to this forum and it didn't let me. I don't think I had enough permissions yet to PM. I could be wrong but it seems that now that an admin has approved two of my posts I have more permissions. For example this post won't have to be approved before posting where both of my posts last night did.
I just tried PMing him it did let me.
Still, I stand by my statement that I'm glad this thread exists. As a new user coming to his site I wasn't worried about ordering there. I usually just trust amex or paypal to refund me if someone online scams me. But then I had a product question, found there was no contact phone or email address, and then used the web form to message them and never heard back. Thats when I started googling to see if their contact info was anywhere else. And that's when I stumbled on this thread and joined this forum because of it.
So it was never because of thinking it was a scam or anything bad about him, but because sometimes things change and sites do get abandoned. And this thread cleared up any worry I had, even without hearing back from him. But I did (do) still have those product questions. Even if he doesn't respond to this I will place an order this weekend. But ideally I would first get some pre-order help on which interface cards to order - which is the question I have at the moment.
I guess I could post that question here somwhere also.

Randy is a good guy and he'll take care of you. :cheers:
DudeRegular:
Not sure on that email form on his site. I tried it myself a while back and never received a response. I will say though that I have ordered from his site a couple of times and things have been great. No delays, everything accounted for, High quality.

I thought I should update my status on this and say that RandyT did email me back (couple days ago now) and also respond to my PM here. It might have helped that I PM'd him here. But I am gathing my order together and will place it shortly. Still deciding on button colors.
Also having just registered on his site I realized that I should have done that earlier. Once I did that I got a welcome email that includes a real email address (as opposed to having to use the web form). For all I know it goes to the same mailbox but still.
