I emailed Tan14 a few days ago to buy some accessories off him but so far no answer.
When you guys (whoever you are) bought anything from them did you just pay (send payment to his email via paypal) or did you wait for a paypal "please pay"?

He may take a few days to get back to me at times, but every time I have paid it gets to me within a week.
Highly recommended - and I can be a difficult customer...

I've had his emails to me bounced by my Australian ISP.
Maybe try a yahoo/hotmail or such like account.

Don't worry Adrian - Peter is a reliable guy to deal with. I'm sure there's a valid reason for the delay in replying. I've taken the plunge and paid without waiting for the paypal request a few times in the past with no problems at all.

I'm a happy customer as well after sending a big wad of cash for a Tak EM-200.
Cheers,
Rick.

I've bought plenty of Tak gear and accessories from him over the years. Sometimes he can take a few days to get back - but at the end of the day he's completely reliable and professional to deal with. I highly recommend him as well.

Adrian, between 2008 and 2009 I tried four times to contact the owner of that site to make inquiries or place an order and at no time did I ever receive a response, so I spent my money elsewhere.

You will need to wait so he can quote shipping costs.
Try another email...or maybe he is on holiday

I wouldn't be to worried Adrian, Peter is as honest as they come. It might be worth sending him another email asking for a final price including post and paypal fees if that is what you use. I have been purchasing equipment, expensive and not so expensive stuff and he has never let me down. In fact with some gear I wonder how he can do it for the price.

+1 for service.
Takes a couple of days to get a reply sometimes.
His pricing for custom made stuff is great. I bought an SBIG STL-Canon EF adapter from him, including shipping for $50. SoCalAstro in the US were asking $200 (which I paid, but, they were unable to fulfill my order).

Yep I purchased dew straps for my 127ED (DN006) from him...as well as other straps & stuff. Works a treat. Cost to my door for DN006 was $280HKD.
His straps are pretty much the same as the dew-not versions. I don't know if they are knockoffs...if they are then they are most excellent knockoffs!

Just heard from Peter. Paid for the DN006 at HK$280 air freighted. Pretty good prices. All I need now is a controller.
Hmmmmmmmmm......Homebrew or Texas Instruments freebies........?
