    Trying to contact Franz Raab - Moito

    I have been trying to contact Franz Raab (Moito) about a gas heater project he is working on for me. A recent email to him has not been answered and his private message inbox here is full. Does anyone have a current phone number they could PM me, or another way to contact Franz?

    I've been in contact with him recently. He was traveling for the holidays and I'm sure he's just catching up. He's a busy guy and it can take a little while for him to get back but be patient, I'm sure he will.

    Thanks for the information. I know he moved to Salzburg in mid 2019 and took on an extensive house renovation which is likely to be occupying some of his time.

    Thank you to those that replied. It is good to know that Franz is still communicating with some of you. Could I please ask someone who he is communicating with to ask him to contact me? He has my email address and phone numbers.

    The transaction I am concerned about involves my purchase of a 904 gas heater from Franz and him restoring the heater. To date 2,550 Euros have been paid (50%+) and Franz acknowledged this payment on 23 September 2017. Restoration and delivery of the heater were to be complete by late 2018 or early 2019. Initial communication was good and by September 2018 the heater was partially restored and had been test run with photos provided. The nothing.

    I sent emails to Franz in March 2019 and again in early June 2019 asking for status. No reply. I then contacted Franz by PM on this forum and he replied on 3 June 2019, saying he had not been in his shop for several months due to renovation work on a home he purchased in Salzburg. He said he would be back in his shop in late July, so I expected delivery of he heater by the end of 2019. Then nothing.

    Two weeks ago I emailed Franz again asking for a status report. No reply. After posting my initial message here I emailed Franz twice more in the last week, but still no reply. Yesterday I called the phone number I had for Franz (+43-650-930-0911) - no answer. I also had a friend in Switzerland call the number several times yesterday. No answer.

    Given the rarity of the heater, the amount of money already paid, the one plus year delay in delivery and the lack of communication I am concerned. Any assistance other registry members could provide in asking Franz to contact me or in providing updated contact information for him (by PM) would be appreciated.

    Bill, you seem to be showing an exorbitant amount of patience with this. Hope you get it resolved.

    I have been communicating with him re: an aluminum deck lid. I e-mailed him regarding your post/request and he said he would e-mail you. I am going to move forward with the transaction. Will keep you posted. Please do the same and best of luck to everyone.
