To tisme-ga,
    I called the company on this part and tried to order it, but they
do not have the part in stock from this company. They told me that
there was an error on there part and they don't carry it. Have you
found anyother place that has this part in stock. Please let me know
if you find this part somewhere else. Thanks,
Eric

Hello thechief1,

I am sorry that the part was not available from the company I had
provided. I will do my best to find another company with it, and if I
cannot do so I will request that my answer be removed.

Hi Eric,

I have found two more places that might have this part but I am
waiting for them to contact me. One of them is in the UK, would you
still want the information if they would ship to the United States?

I am not sure how long it will take for them to get back to me, but I
will keep this question open for a few days waiting for a reply. In
addition I am emailing and phoning as many places as I can find that
carry Sharp Parts.

If you feel that you want this question closed or have a certain
deadline, please let me know. If I keep run into dead ends after
exhausting all possibilites I will let you know as well.

Here are two replies that I have received so far:

"I do not stock this part but I can get it , but it would be b.o. for
about 4-5 wks . You cost would be $288.55 can. + tx and shipping 
would be extra. If you would like to order I would need it prepaid ,
You can contact me at ph# 1(306) 373-5577   thank you  Rick"

"If you would like us to try and get one you have to call our parts
line at 780 466-7498
With Visa or MasterCard number. Shipping address,etc."

I will let you know as I receive additional information from Parts
Suppliers.

tisme-ga,

    Thanks for your help, Let me call this guy Rick and make sure that
he can get the part, I know how the supply system works and I just
want to make sure that he can do what he says he can. I'll also want
to know on the info that you receive from the UK also when you get it.
You can still keep this open until I can verify that someone can get
me this part. But for your work keep this in answer mode so that no
one else can reply except you.

Thanks again,
Eric

    I called the one company at 780-466-7498 and they did not have the
part and could not get it. I called the other company in Canada and he
said that he would get back with me tomorrow with some info. He said
that the system his 0 on hand which might mean that they could get the
part, because it does not say not carried. He is checking to see if he
can get the part still and the time delay. Please keep looking for
other possibilites, because I don't know if that person in Canada will
be able to get it. Thanks for your help

Hello Eric,

Here is another lead for you, I received an email and they said to
phone them to discuss this:
Andrews Electronics   1-800-274-4666
25158 Avenue Stanford  Fax:805-295-5126
Santa Clairta, CA 91355

Thanks for keeping me updated. I received an email today from another
company in the US and they think they have the part on hand, but
needed to email the warehouse to verify.

In addition I am still waiting on the reply from the UK.

Hello Eric, 

I received a reply from Beaudoin Electronique and they have the part
you want in stock. "The price is $ 274.81 canadian dollars plus taxes
and douanes plus shipping. Thank You, Gilles" I asked for a website or
phone number but he just sent me this reply: "I am sorry we do not
have website and my phone number is 418-653-8951."

Let me know how things are going on your end if you have an update.

Hello Eric,

Just heard back from the company in the UK. Although they have the
part listed in their database they are unable to locate it at the
warehouse. Hopefully one of the other leads will work. All the places
I have been checking have returned messages saying that the part is
not available anymore.

tisme-ga,

   Will call tomorrow on both of those places that you listed, Andrew
Electronics and Beaudoin Electronics. Have been busy this week and
haven't had time to call. Will do it tomorrow and let you know the
status. Thanks for keeping me informed and the time and research that
you have put into this.

  Sorry it took a week to get back with you but have been busy. Called
the two companys about the board and they don't carry it. Both Andrews
Electronics and Beaudoin Electroniques, they might of said that they
carried it, but when I checked I received a totally different answer,
maybe these people need to update there stock inventory and get my
hopes up. Have you found out anyone else that might carry this part.
Please let me know. I have no idea where to look, are you still
looking for the part.

Dear Google, 
I do want to request a refund, it seems that my credit card has been
charged for services rendered, but the service has not been provided.
I'm approaching the 30 day window and the person looking for has not
found it. I have no problem in paying for a service that is completed
but it has not been yet to date. The person is still looking for it,
but my credit card should not be charged until he finds it. Can I make
sure the charge is removed from my credit card until the part gets
found. I have no problem paying for a service, but again service has
not been fully provided yet to date. I still want to keep my question
out their, but please credit my credit card. Any ?'s please contact me
at my e-mail address.

To tisme-ga,

   Let me give these people a call tomorrow to make sure that they
have the part in stock and that it is the correct one that I need.
It's like each person's system has the part in stock, but when you
call them they discover that they don't have it, it's like were fixing
an inventory problem on this part for everyone, we need to start
charging them for fixing there discrepincies. I will let you know
tomorrow or Tuesday the latest. Thanks for everything.

   Please call sharp Canada, because you might find out that they
don't carry the part and that they can not get it either. I appreicate
your response but someone already contacted Sharp Canada and they said
they can't get the part. If you can double check for me that will be
great, but the last word I got was that they don't carry it. Thanks

Eric
