Haha. New member, quick hint to contact for parts in Arkansas. Sent the mail, prompt replies, cheap parts ,but:
-No pictures of actual parts, just a pic from the net of a moretti in Italy..
-guy did not want to send pics, just asked for 150$ via paypal friends and family at
sendtopaypal3@gmail.com

Asked a few times to send the money quick.. but nothing about shipping or other costs.

Beware, then! The world is full of scammers! And a preferred way is to have someone reccomend itself via private messages.. :)

The same guy messaged me the other day. Yeah, not falling for it. 🙄
