Yup, familiar story. I've solved it by schlepping the parts myself if I
don't need 'em right away. How urgent is your need [a next trip likely
before Turkey Day]? Having a friend in the UK who'll let stuff sit in a
corner is essential, of course. Seems I recall a fellow on this list who
made regular runs to and fro but natch I've lost his contact info. If it
emerges, I'll let you know. Or, put out the call on various lists for a
friend of a friend, etc. Good luck, David
