Ya, I just got 6 new scrollers and two power supplies a few weeks back, and no gum to be had. ????

Sorry Keith's been really busy sending me swag and has been slacking on the gum. I have to get a picture of me in my Apollo hat and shirt in front of my right arm.

My local dealer has admitted to removing the gum from the packages from Apollo before giving the gear to the purchaser...

Soup or art?

Well, THAT would end my relationship with that dealer.

Still not as bad as a company where I used to work when we would remove the clamp, safety cable, and colorframe, and sell them separately, even though <manufacturer deleted> included them with the fixtures.

Funny, my order came in last night with gum and a gel pen! Although I did have it drop shipped direct from our friends at Apollo.

I think morally it's wrong; the legality of it depends on the contract between the dealer and the manufacture if I'm not mistaken.
