[Shotimes] Slippery SHO Service

[Paul L Fisher]

You sent this only to me. I am forwarding to the list.

$300 sounds about right (a rip-off) for replacing the other belts though.

Hmmm... invoice is not itemized. Maybe I never did pay
for them? Got a call out to the service manager.
He has'nt returned it yet. Invoice has code I don't
understand. Parts are listed with a designation
FMC & SPO? Anyone know what that means? Thanks Paul.
