    I do believe I still have a yellow left... let me check the pile of post-LA Swamp Meet parts.

    So, I did not immediately respond to Eric as I was working out of town. In the interim, someone else chimed in and purchased the shroud he had available. Fair -- maybe/maybe not. I guess, money talks.... I still need a nice yellow shroud if anyone has one available.

    Just for correctness, some of the 1973 cis came with a yellow shroud. There is a thread on the differences from the MFI shroud.

    Black 73.5 CIS fan housings were originally yellow and painted black by the factory.

    Regards

    I want to be very transparent here. I always try to do a first in, first out kinda thing with classifieds. It's tough with some people e-mailing, some people PMing, etc. etc.

    3/5 - Post - Want a nice shroud.
    3/5 - Reply from Richard - PM sent
    3/5 - Reply - I may have one as well.
    3/6 - Got you a picture said it was "a little rough"
    3/6 - Received a PM from a member here stating "If Beaker passes..." (very fair and very professional)
    3/7 - Two days after original post and after not hearing anything, I assumed you grabbed a nicer shroud from Richard. I told the other party that it looks like it's theirs.
    3/8 - PM from you asking if the shroud had been painted or if there were any cracks. to which I replied "...sorry, after a couple of days of not hearing from you... yada, yada, yada"

    So, I just want you to know, that I feel the other member here was acting fairly and thinking on your behalf. With e-mail notifications on these posts, I'm usually made aware of responses within a few hours at the latest (depends upon when I can get to my e-mail). Again, after two-three days, I assumed you had found something nicer and offered it to the other member.

    Bottom line; I think everyone was trying their best to be fair here. Just an unfortunate timing. You may want to check eBay auctions. There's usually quite a few for $100-300.00

    Eric -- for the record --- You have nothing but a superior reputation as a fair and honest enthusiast on this board. Your caliper work is like jewelry. Just bummed that I was sniped on my own want add due to my day job. No worries!
