Didn't he in fact run his company out of business by taking prepayments
and deposits for work that wasn't, in fact, ever done? I tried off and
on for several years to get a replacement back (graflok style) for my 4x5
trad and wondered why he wasn't responding to my inquiries but now I feel
lucky he didn't -- since I took the camera in to L&R for repairs a few
weeks ago and discovered there were no spare parts available (luckily
I didn't need any) I've talked to several other people who were persistent
enough to get in touch with Ron over the past few years and, if they
ordered
anything, ended up wi****ng they hadn't...
