Hola Amigos - Save 20% On Repairs
Has anyone got this email from SS? I am not sure where this is going from a SS standpoint but I don't like it.

I got the email. Not sure what the problem is with it that you see.

Oh I think it is 'clever'.
I wish that cleverness was directed a different direction.
It is 'cute'. That is what is 'wrong' with it.

Give em credit for trying!

I have not received that email but if this is all that it is about, I don't see anything wrong with it. Someone who has been thinking about doing a retrofit will likely jump on it. I mean, after all, 20% off.

It states repairs/tuneup, not retrofit nor upgrade.dusty wrote:I have not received that email but if this is all that it is about, I don't see anything wrong with it. Someone who has been thinking about doing a retrofit will likely jump on it. I mean, after all, 20% off.
Still 20% which I assume does not apply to parts cost.

New ad director?
I don't see a problem. 98% of advertising success is just getting someone's attention... Often campy does that. Apparently this one did.

Didn't mention my "original,"
Just the later copies.

Seriously, the ad did it's job.

10 ER, stripped down.
Basic 10ER, Parts machine. Will be a semi-dedicated drill-press machine.
10 ER, a "survivor" of the trailer fire, in the back yard, needing restoration. Has a Mk5 headrest. Finally, stripped down.
Numerous parts, for Model 10 stuff. Except for lower saw guard, A and B adapters, I've got it.
Looking for one more, or some 9 inch extension table raisers.
