Why we buy overseas
I recently contacted a local engineering/metal fabrication company with a request to make a new counter weight shaft 1" by 24" and collar for my EQ6
I was supplying the material for the shaft which only needed to have a thread and maybe a counterweight stop made up for it
the collar could be made from a small piece of aluminium
quoted $350 but they couldn't do the job until after the end of January
I wasn't even asking for a new counterweight
I can purchase a complete kit from England for around $350 including freight and this comes with a 10kg stainless steel counterweight
and you wonder (maybe not) why we buy overseas
