Just a note of explanation.  Mr. Wray and a friend of his purchased
several items from me the last time I posted equipment for sale,
part of the transaction included turntable isolation feet at the
price of $10.  At the time I posted the ad, and when Mr. Wray told
me that he wished to purchase the isolation feet, I thought I
knew exactly where they were.  However in the course of events --
I moved recently and some friends lived with us for a few months --
I found the isolation feet were not to be found.  (I later realized
that I had lent them to this friend and we had both forgotten
about it -- he had them packed away with his belongings when he
moved out.)

Anyway, I sent all the items to Mr. Wray except the isolation feet
in December.  Mr. Wray and I communicated shortly thereafter and I explained
that I couldn't put my hands on the isolation feet, but I knew they
were somewhere -- I offered to send him the $10 back, but Mr. Wray
stated that he was more interested in the getting the isolation
feet than having his money back.  I continued to look for these
elusive things, not knowing where they were.  We communicated
again in the first part of January and I told Mr. Wray at that
time that I would look for the feet over the weekend and if I
couldn't find them then I would send him him money back. He seemed
satisfyed.  Well, that weekend my friend and I talked and we
both seemed to recollect that he might have the isolation feet --
he agreed to pursue searching.  I thought of communicating with
Mr. Wray at that time but decided not to as there was really nothing
new.  Well, it took a week and a half, but my friend found the
isolation feet in his boxed-up belongings (he's waiting to buy a house).
I tried to phone Mr. Wray, however the phone number (I know now)
in the Bell Labs directory in incorrect -- I thought he was out
on vacation or something.

To conclude, Mr. Wray wrote a flame on this net questioning my
credibility (since he hadn't heard from me and he was expecting either
a check or the isolation feet by mid-January) -- maybe I should 
have called him earlier to let him know of my progress, no excuses.
I just have to chalk this up to lack of communication --
I hope all is forgiven as the isolation feet are in the mail.
(I didn't want to send them before I could get in touch with him --
the computer address in his flame let me check his address and phone
number out.)
