UPDATE:
This is a long story, so I will try and give the Reader Digest version.
I have finally been able to get these warranty problems taken care of. I contacted "world-etrade" and told them about the problems with the spindle. It took some doing but they reluctantly sent a replacement spindle.
Now "eling-export" was a whole other nut to crack. I lost count of the communications back and forth (40+). At first "eling-export" was very reluctant to give any warranty coverage, but after I got in touch with PayPal about opening a case "eling-export" changed their attitude real fast and wanted to know if I would drop the PayPal case and change my 'feedback' at Ebay. They sent me an address in California to return the VFD/spindle, but I had to pay the shipping ($28.00). All of this sense about 8/25/2012. I returned the VFD/spindle but did not hear back from "eling-export". My tracking # showed that they had received the VFD/Spindle. After contacting "eling-export" again and threatening to reopen the case with PayPal. They ask me not to do that and that they would refund my money to PayPal and send the money for the shipping. After three days of not hearing anything this morning I received an email from PayPal that the $311.00 has been returned to my account and that $28.00 (shipping cost) has been sent to my PayPal account. I will admit that I had just about given up hope of getting my money back. Just shows that you have to be persistent and stand your ground. This morning I did change my 'feedback' in Ebay about eling-export.
