I received a bad part. What should I do?

I'm glad the seller has chimed in, and it sounds like this can be worked out between them. FYI, Steer and Gear will buy the unit as a core for $30.00, so if the eventual holder of the item wants to recoup at least some $$$ from it, take it to the next big show you attend and turn it in to them as a core!!!
