    Thunderbird. They finally called me back, and they were very nice. 
    It seems they've had a growth spurt and huge turnover of employees
    very recently, added phone lines, etc., and communications in general
    have NOT BEEN WORKING VERY WELL, LOL! 

    However after talking to them about the other issues pertaining to
    my order (and after ascertaining from you guys that my expectations
    were probably too high to start with anyway regarding cab
    calibration) I feel much better. 

    I was also misinformed about the provenance of those cabs, they're
    NOT machined, they're hand cut in China.  Had I known that my
    expectations would have been much lower to start with.  Apparently
    this is one of the things they already know they need to add to their
    catalog. 

    I just can't imagine anybody sitting around all day hand making cabs
    that small!  Heck, I don't want to make BEZELS that small!  Although
    I'm very grateful for all the information everyone has posted about
    how to do it - when I have my torch station set up, I'll try it.  I
    feel like I should at least know how before I categorically refuse
    to do it.
