He hasn't responded to me in a few days, but I think I am going to give him the rest of today for at least a response
I am glad I waited, tracking says it arrived in my town today. Now to just wait for the mail, and check the condition... I guess I will keep everyone updated, but thank your for your advice. I have no problems admitting when I am wrong.
Parts rcvd, as of yet untested. 13 days after ordered :/
