Got my Bell, great as usual.

One thing that I have noticed that is missing from the Brass Bell, a little brass bell to end each story. ;)

No, I did not get mine. And no, I am not expecting to get it. My last one came from Jim Staib, not the post office.

Tyson - send an e-mail to Al at [email protected] and confirm mailing details. You are the only failed delivery that I am aware of. We'll send another and try to find out what is going on. It must be an anomaly with your address, somewhere.

Matthew;

Your best bet for help is to post this request in the Electrical Section.
