  7. At the risk of posting BEFORE the new owner of one of the most amazing M20E’s purchase confirmation, I will state I gave him a lead on my best friend of 15 years or longer’s plane, being sold by the fortunate and amazingly appreciative buyer several years ago,after making a MAJOR life career change, congratulations on a truly AMAZING M20E purchase!!! I will digress to HIS POSTS on his acquisition going forward, but feel an immense satisfaction knowing my best friends airplane will go to a trusted new owner!! And thanks, to the many supporters from this forum, for the trust and support you’ve provided me as I’ve tried to truly represent what my best friend had for an airplane!!!!! Tom
  8. JPI / EDM 700 Engine Monitor for 6 Cylinder Comes with all EGT and CHT sensors, as well as TIT (Turbo Inlet Temperature) probe. Disclaimer; the display on the JPI “occasionally” will start up barely readable, but always shows normal display within 10 minutes or after takeoff , and never dims again during flight. Price reflects this anomaly! Price; $300 Price dropped 2/7/24 to $150 Price dropped to $100 on 4/15/24
  9. My primary Mooney parts suppliers are Don Maxwell and Laser. They ARE above average on service. I do almost all my own service work so rare I need an MSC for anything other than parts. Your case shows a bad experience in the parts department can cost the service department future revenue. If that customer experience was ever brought to my attention, in my dealership, my parts tech would be having a closed door discussion with me. One thing I AM CAREFUL WITH though, is I never burn bridges with ANY customers or suppliers. I never know when I may need them down the road, in spite of a bad experience. Tom
  10. THIS ^^^^^ I couldn't have said it better!! My Truck dealership carries $2M in parts inventory. With Western Star being one of the lowest volume OEM's, we are comparable to the aviation market. I can't even guess how often (the labor cost) of time required for us to research, find, and order parts for a customer far exceeds the gross profit on the part. We do it because we desire future (larger) parts sales AND sales of new trucks to these customers (something MSC's do not have as a possible future revenue source). @Ragsf15e had it right. Calling after research and finding part numbers will demonstrate that the owner has dedicated some time himself before asking the MSC to look into a part he has no assurance his time will result in a sale (if the part is not available from Mooney or the owner elects to find it someplace else based on price). That said, I wonder what happened to my mechanical tach cable removed this fall from my Rocket for the glass panel install? Maybe that would have worked for you. I will check on it. Tom
