T16 Gas Tractor from Microcosm (Jin)
« on: August 21, 2022, 07:09:32 pm »
Jin asked me if he could have a USA return sent to me for diagnosis and repair.

While it was a little hard to start due to flooding, once I figured it out it was easy.

I could not find anything wrong with it.

Below is a video of it running.

Enjoy!

Jin asked me to receive a return and resend a steam engine a number of years ago...I did what he asked, despite several requests he never would reimburse me the shipping costs. Get your money up front.

Hi Bruce, Thank you. I think he can now email a shipping label. It looks like this is the way he got it to me. I will check to be certain.

Also, I did not quite understand correctly at first. There was nothing wrong with this other than that the wrong unit was sent. Jin is sending the customer the correct unit. It looks like he will be putting this one on ebay as the best recovery option for the mistake.

What happened? Yesterday we had paid $ 34 through PayPal.

Hi Jin, I think you misunderstand. I think St Paul Steam was referring to an earlier time.

I have no idea of what your talking about here, I have NEVER recieved $34 from you yesterday or ever, here's what happened regarding the $34 you may be referring to, I bought a second gear reduction transmission from you on Nov 24, 2021 , it was a bad unit and made a terrible grinding noise as compared with the one I bought from you shorty before this purchase , I sent you a message asking if I could return this for a properly functioning unit, I was sent an EBay message saying the money was refunded (I never received it) & you promptly banned me from purchasing from you without any explanation ! I really don't care to air this bad business model out in the open on this forum, but I have not had a reply back from you until now. The unit you sent to me years ago to inspect ,fix and move on to another buyer as a favor to you was left with me doing the work , paying to send it on to the new buyer and not a penny of repayment for my time or shipping to your new buyer.

I think Jin misunderstood. He did send 34 dollars to someone in Arizona to cover postage for sending the tractor to me.
