    Correct me if i'm wrong but the kress units come with 10 years guarantee. I think I mentioned this in the above post already.

    You could well get it in under a week from them. I ordered a VFD from one of those sellers and it came within a few days.

    If you're desperate:

    Make sure you get the one with ER20 collets not smaller.

    Lot of inflated postage is actually fee avoidance , as a seller pay ebay 10% of final value but not on postage costs.

    Had a few Chinese items, including 3040 mill, shipped from some fulfillment warehouse in Portsmouth, guessing they may be held in bond and pay the duty when they sell, important to note I didn`t get charged any extra duty and items arrived within few days.
