Puts a smile on my face hearing things working out nicely in such a situation!
Congratulations on getting the whole set back in one piece and gettin her crankin again!
And I totally agree it pays to be nice to the seller as you get the best results, it's like being a customer in a restaurant, be nice and you're more likely to get good service, be a rude customer and the chances are one of the chef's could spit on your meal in retaliation without you knowing lol.
