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.

Quite a while back I ordered three "Wally Tractors". The only way I FINALLY got delivery was to ask a good personal friend of mine, and also a personal friend Wally's, to call and ask about my order. I received it a about a week or so later.
Unless you're a personal friend of my personal friend:-) I suggest you look elsewhere for your needs.

The saying goes," If you can't say something good about someone, don't say anything at all." ---------- so much for sayings!

I certainly am curious to know if "Elizabeth" on these posts is in fact, Wally? If not, Elizabeth must be a member of executive management at AIG. Based on her post, I can't think of anyone with more contempt for the general public. BTW, is everyone posting here aware of the fact that Wally actually showed up for a Los Angeles Audio Society meeting a couple of months ago? Now that's a brave man indeed!
Count me among those bewildered by Elizabeth's post. He might be quirky, or even flaky, but if he cashes your check and doesn't send you a product, I call him a thief.

I should say that he has never taken my money. I offered it to him once via e-mail but he never responded.

So how many people have in fact been stiffed by Wally? If there are enough of you out there, band together and call a lawyer. Also, those who have been defrauded should consider an e-mail to Stereophile or Michael Fremer at his Musicangle site. Mr. Fremer pitches Wally's products on his turntable setup video, and probably wouldn't continue to do so on future videos, if he knew of this problem.

Anyway, I also got the mintLP protractor about 4 months ago. Got it in a week. Either Yip has become much busier lately (MacdadTexas 5 week wait), or protractors for some tables take longer. He probably keeps some stock available for my model (VPI Scoutmaster w/JMW-9) since it's a very popular table.

I am a very nice person, and I talked several times to Wally, and it still took him 12weeks to get an item he said he had in stock.

But then he never called me back to help me out when I had a question.

Elizabeth, you seem to have issues so repeat after me, "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and dog gone it, people like me!"
I put up my money, order a proven product, then wait for how long?

In today's economy, If I pay today I better get the goods tomorrow, if not I'm dealing with the wrong company.
