We have been buying from NW direct and started doing the upgrade too. NW ran out of parts and has not had them for some time now.
A&A had some problems with the original 50 cent mechs but assured me that the problems were solved. So tried the mechs and have had no problems.
Several times have called NorthWestern during normal hours and got no answer. Have waited months for the last 50 cent mechs and conversions. Hope that NW is OK. Anybody heard any news?
