    MULe Parts Info

    FYI, I have gotten back into Mules after many years of not having one. The late Bill Watson & Leonard Grove were true gentlemen when it came to customer service on mule’s, good parts and fair prices. As Rexman stated with Bill a phone call and the parts were delivered with an invoice...

    MEP-003 Hz problem

    Thanks all for recommendation, I will have to get a little local help on this one, I do have an old TS-352 and don't know if that will work or not. If it turns out to be the transducer for Freq meter are they available at a human beings price? Again thanks!!
