The seller of the vent on ebay is a DOG. He of the genuine, not, Sparto wing repeaters fame, as discussed on here before.

Unfortunately a friend of mine bought those Sparto wing repeaters from him for about £90 without consulting me first. When they arrived, he showed them to me, and just as I said on here, they were longer and wider than original items, and the bezel was not correct. He sent them back and got a refund. Seller literally said to him, did you think you were buying genuine Sparto wing repeaters for £90? Friend replied, well yes, because that was what you were advertising them as?

He left negative feedback that I wrote out for him. Purely factual, no swearing or anything else. Yes I know, hard to believe. The guy replies to feedback with the above bullshit. A month later, ebay have removed the negative feedback.

Steer clear of that seller. If I remember correctly, and I do, even Steve Loader, aka Elanfan, wrote to the bloke to tell him to stop describing them as Sparto, but still he carrys on.

Caveat emptor.

Donald Trump where are you when we need you?? I'm sure you know a few ( ) I won't say the word, people who can solve this problem as well as getting rid of a few cats as well.
