Hey, Alex...

I battled with FedEx for months over this because FedEx apparently thought the camera wasn't worth as much as I said it is. Finally, I showed them a quote I got for a replacement from Super8Sound (I know, the most expensive place to buy a Beaulieu from, but that served my purposes just fine!), and they have only now sent me a check for the measely $500 I insured it for. Oh, I did threaten to take them to small claims court here in Alabama, so that may have had something to do with the resolution.

You should have seen the final letter I sent to FedEx. It was a classic! ;-)

Anyway, Irv Higdon has the camera in California now for repairs. He found plenty wrong with it inside, so it wasn't just the lens that was broken. Anyway, it's gonna cost me about $550 to get it back to 100 percent, so that'll only leave me $50 in the hole when it's over. Now it's time for me to send Mr. Higdon some money...
