What an @sshole I am!
Anilim 30"X12" travel Wizard 211 DRO was on sale at MSC for $1125.
With shipping and tax, it came to $1224. Measured the miller (That odd
little Swedish one I have), looked fine.
Just arrived last night, was excited, tore into the packaging, etc.
Anyway, the damned scales are 1/4" too high to fit in the space I have
available. Because the packaging is not intact it appears I f****
Myself beautifully. Well, I have had plenty of suggestions to do just
that over the years, so it's no big deal.
But if anyone has a full-sized miller (Real Bridgeport, etc.) and
wants something new, warranteed, etc. that has not even been plugged
in (Dammit dammit dammit) first $800 takes it. Otherwise I will dump
the parts individually on E-Bay. Might have a better chance at
recovery that way.
Just created a special e-mail address, which will be deleted after
this issue is resolved.
dro-fool (a t ) gearloose-dot-com

dammit.

Here's the manual and specs:

I would talk to MSC first, maybe they can do something for you.

PS:
I am in SE Massachusetts.

I did. It is best summed as saying I got a New Yorker on a bad day.
The best recovery that gets me is still going to cost a restocking
charge and shipping. Applying the Golden Rule, if I were the next
customer, and had torn boxes and some cosmetic handling issues, I
would not accept the unit, so I have to agree with the guy. Fair
enough.
The other ethical factors a
1: My mistake, My dues. I didn't pre-flight, and I crashed.
2: This newsgroup in the past few years has given me a lot of good
advice and solved a lot of problems for me; non-hobby problems, that
have allowed me to make a couple of hundred thousand out of the back
of my garage.(Yes, taxed). So it seems right to pay somebody back
with $400 or so. It's capital equipment, and I'll write off the loss,
and a cheap price to pay for the free consulting I have gotten here.
