First off, Happy New Year to everyone!
Well, let's hope that the New Year starts off on a perfect note for me too, as I see this year off with a gripe at Moog Music.
I must say, if Bob were still around I don't think we'd see things like indiscriminate pricing for bits and pieces. re: http://www.thereminworld.com/

I'd have not been so bothered but what happened to me was that I received a brand new Etherwave standard which had a defective part, the compression nut for the pitch antenna was misshapen. As a result the antenna couldn't be secured properly.
Anyhows, I asked for a replacement and was told sure no problem but I'd have to pay for shipping since I'm overseas. Sent them my credit card info with the charge amount left blank (I had great trust with Moog). So here comes the kicker... they wanted $26 to ship the nut.
$26 to ship a small compression nut weighing a couple of ounces when USPS quotes $11.95 to ship flat rate priority up to 4 lbs.
Nuts!
