How to order Wally Tools...


I'm potentially interested in ordering a wallytractor. I've called the number on his web site several times, but never an answer. I've left two messages, and no one returns my calls. I'm curious as to how one properly places an order. Alternately, I've now seen posts here on the Mint protractor. Is that a worthy alternative? Tks.

Curious-how long can someone hold onto your money, without providing a product, before he *is* "a crook"? This poster http://db.audioasylum.com/cgi/m.mpl?forum=vinyl&n=749266&highlight=wally+tractor had been waiting five years up to the time of his post. At this point, he's probably been waiting six years, and that's not an unusual story.

From all indications, the 'Mint' is a great product, with wonderful and personalized service. This is really a no brainer-Wally should be avoided at all costs.
Agree with the above. Wally has shot himself in the foot as far as losing the tonearm/cartridge alignment business to someone willing to provide an equally good product with quick dependable shipping - Mint LP. It's best to contact Wally only by phone and be very persistant if you really want his products. Good luck.
I met Wally years ago at an audio show. He seemed like a good guy, a bit scattered but his devices make sense. The guy needs help to run a successful business.
I ordered a Wally Tractor about a year ago. Believe it or not, Wally answered the phone and took my order after which I sent a check. Six months later, no Tractor, no telephone answer, and Wally never cashed my check.............but, I found one for sale right here and bought it at the asking price. My bank went out of biz so Wally's check..........again, never cashed........became worthless. So, if you never cash a check and never make delivery, can you call him a crook? His product is great, but he definitley is an oddball. I know that's unusual to find in high end audio.
