I have had nothing but good deals with John. Way back to when he lived up north and was working out his basement. In fact I have one of hos very first rotisseries. Any Time I had a question he was on the phone picking it up, or called back asap. Did you call talk with him lately? Sounds like this deal was long ago and long forgotten. As in he may even know he owes you one or the $ back. Let us know how it works out
