Anyone order turrets from Tube Depot lately?

Post by Gaz »

I'm just curious because I read on this board some people saying they were a little corroded.

I'm asking because Hoffman is out of stock and Tube Depot is the only place that sells competitively priced turrets that are the same size.

Thanks.

Check these, it's a framed site so I can't give you a page link, must click "turrets" on the LH column. Don't know if in your price range:

I received a package with 100 turrets last week and they all looked brand new. The batch I had ordered a few months ago were corroded and I ended up having to blast them with flux to clean them and then tinned them.

Yep, I had a package of 100 single turrets that were corroded. I didn't think to clean them and re-tin becuase I had a batch of double turrets at hand.

I like CE's Turrets also.Not sure if there the same size as hoffman's.

I belive they have two different sizes.

Just checked CE's site says both turrets are out of stock.

It's a turret crisis.

AES says theirs are in stock which is strange, since CE is their wholesaler.

CE's site's been a little screwy since they change to the new format, so maybe that's why.
