I always hoped he just created a new account with a different name. | |||

It was mentioned earlier that is the wrong part, unfortunately. ——————————————— The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Psalm 14:1 | |||

I reached out to Brad via email to get his take on the Republicans vying for the GOP nominees in a couple of the 2016 primary races. He responded with his thoughts. That is the kind of thing I miss from Brad around here. Personally, I always felt the incessant "Paging Appliance Brad" posts kind of tacky. Now, finding out he'd give advice and people would go buy the parts elsewhere, well... "America is at that awkward stage.

If I recall, didn't he run for elected office and get voted in at one point? It may have been 3 or 4 years ago [B] Against ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC | |||

He ran, but did not win, IIRC? "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system,,,, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe "If we let things terrify us, life will not be worth living." -- Seneca the Younger, Roman Stoic philosopher | |||

That's possible. Perhaps you are Brad, and just trolling us?? | |||

keep in mind he's very active in first responder stuff, his business and family , in other words , he has three lives , so "ancillary" might be the title of his sig forum activities.

I think, in our own way, we're all Appliance Brad.....  | |||

I follow him & his store on FB. I'd say if you want his help do so, but spend your $$$ there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Yidn, shreibt un fershreibt" "The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them.

I never had the opportunity to speak with Brad directly, but I did very much enjoy reading his posts, especially on non-appliance related subjects. Brad is a credit to the forum and I'd welcome him back were he convinced to return.
At one time there was an edict forbidding the whole "Paging member XXXX" posts. | |||

My cousin is an appliance repair guy, and a damn good one, but I can tell you he would not have lasted as long as Brad did. Brad gave us his best, so be thankful for it. _________________________________________________ "Once abolish the God, and the Government becomes the God." --- G.K. Chesterton | |||

Too clever by half |
He did, and it would be nice to be able to give back. Thanks to those who offered assistance with the thermostat. No success finding the part, but it appears they've poped up on Ebay twice in the past 4-5 months, so I'll keep my eyes peeled. I'd gladly call Brad's business and purchase the part from him, but the part was discontinued 5 years ago, and I've spent several hours scouring the web with no luck so I'm feeling like it's a lost cause. Excam_man's work-around really interests me, but mine is currently working, so I'd prefer not to mess with it to take measurements for now. With the search for the thermostat more or less concluded, I'd really prefer to see this thread become the "welcome back Brad" thread.
