I've been working on this forever.... and have been keeping some other folks abreast of these "goings on" and thought I would drop the same here in case anyone is interested.

Over a year... I have been pining for Lou Franklins 3 Book Repairman's Special with the Screwdriver book, the PLL Handbook , and the big one. But for the longest, got no answer.

About 3 weeks ago I called the fax number (a wild idea!) to see if it answered. Well, a fax didn't answer....but Lou on an answering machine DID. Said his email delivery system has been broken for the year. Apparently a friend came to his aid and got it working. So, I sent him an email...and had an answer PERSONNALLY.... responding to the content of my email....in under 5 minutes from Lou.

Now....making a long story shorter....

Last weekend was at my son's house near Austin and telling him this story....he said that HE wanted to get it for me as my Christmas gift this year.

Making it a little shorter..... over the past 6 days I have exchanged emails with Lou 5 maybe six times. On Monday morning, my son put the order in per Lou's directions...via PayPal. Monday night around 10 central....Lou sent an email acknowledging receipt of the order AND payment.... vowed to get it shipped quickly and said I should have the order by the weekend but no later than Monday.

If anyone is interested..... I'll let you all know when it comes in......

I can not remember if it was on this forum.... but I know people who have wanted this but were leery of ordering. So, again, just thought I'd let you know that this is "IN PROGRESS"......
 

Woody it could be both. I may well have mentioned the beginning here weeks ago....and for certain I have it up in the air on Grumpy's.

I just know that over the last year or more I have bumped into a number who wanted his book .....but were afraid he was out of business and they might never get it. For that, I'm just trying to keep folks updated. If mine turns out good.......maybe others will order and get the book or books...and I know the cash wouldn't hurt Lou. A win-win

What's the price on all three. I sure could use that information. Not a tech per say, but wanting to learn solid techniques. Have good friend who has a good background in radio but lacks ability to tech me. These books would be great to have.
 
Ordered on Monday, 12/2 around 1:00 pm by PayPal transaction,
Put the items wanted and my address in the comments on the PayPal transaction itself...

Just arrived in today's mail! That is my bedspread underneath those books. They are HERE!!!!!
