Centipede Restoration
Spyridon:
t-molding has been installed. It is officially done (pending a decision on replacing the right side art :hissy:)
Remember these two Arkaoinds...
Well, here are the same two Arkanoids...
And finally, put back into place with the rest of the cabs (may get moved to an end spot when I rearrange to show off the artwork)
SirPeale:
I personally say "let it go" and use that $50 on your next project. It could be much, much worse!

He has a 7 day return policy, so I'm way beyond that. It will cost me another $50 if I want to replace that side. I need to think on that one before I purchase.

That blows. I bought 2nd hand a 720 cpo that turned out to be defective, and phoenix/darin gave me a very good deal on a replacement! This helps with repeat customers.

That's what I love about living in Europe. A seller would never get away with that bull ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. He delivered you a faulty product and the law says two years warranty here. This has nothing to do with a return policy. We have that here too, but that just says something about if you simply change your mind on ordering stuff through mail or internet. The product can still be 100% OK, and you are still allowed to return it to the seller and they have to give back your money (minus some s&h costs). In this case though, you discovered a product fault that was hidden for you because of the protective layer. Not your fault but the producers fault.
Even without laws, there is also something about customer satisfaction. Was that the only option the seller gave you ? I think he should simply replace the bad part which HE screwed up ! Where did you buy it ?
I wouldn't settle for this personally, just MHO. Your cabs look way too perfect to let this one go !
Amazing job, once again !!! :notworthy: :notworthy:
Wade:
Oh yeah, I just wanted to say that it's a tiny flaw, and honestly I would live with it rather than strip and re-do the side. Regardless of whether he gave you a free replacement side. Your restorations are suuuweeeeet, but even after a perfect restoration you'll get a flaw or two here or there. They'll make you pull your hair out, but in the end no one will notice them. I've learned to live with it because EVERY restoration I do... I put a big booger on it, usually when I'm moving it into the gameroom!!
