Well, that's sharpened things up no end ! So, he's happy to sit there and pick up $30US cash per time, to accept new members but give them nothing except the odd outdated newsletter, and then no reply to their orders or emails. Not good enough, and as one punter on the Thumpertalk link pointed out, Huskies deserve better. Anyone know a coupla big lads in West Virginia ?

Well, I am not in w.Va, but am in Texas. For a small fee and travelimg expenses I would be happy to convey your displeasure ( hey I'm a Maico guy-need to make all the $ I can). Sorry to hear of this-glad I didn't buy Magura levers etc from him. Thanks for the warning.

Well, having read all this after I subscribed late last year, I have emailed him, shall we say, an expression of displeasure, and requested a refund in view of his lack of impetus. The quest continues....
 You'd have to wonder at the folly of letting it all wind down, after going thru so much pain and pus to establish a network of that magnitude....

Does anyone know someone/a number of people who between them has/have a complete collection of Husky Club newsletters?  It would be fantastic if they could be made available for copying and pdf'ing and then made available to forum members through this website. Download from a website would be easiest but file sizes could be large.

I have newsletters 30, 31, 32, 34 & 35 thanks to Pokey who bequeathed them to me. I'd be more than happy to copy and share these with people.  I'd copy and scan any other newsletters that people would care to lend and put onto a CD for posting onto a website (this one?) or email. 

I cant see any copyright notices on the newsletters I have so I assume Craig would not be too concerned - particularly if he hasnt done one since 2006.

Any interest or other thoughts on this?  Maybe someones already done it before.

Great idea PEZBerg! I's be up for coughing up a reasonable sum for back copies.  Seems a shame to let so much good info go down the pan.

[Heikki360]

Excellent idea! I have 7, 9, and 15 to 38 inclusive. Some of the info is pretty obscure but no doubt useful to someone. Will see what I can work out, but it won't happen in a hurry sorry.... Let me know if you have any specific queries and I will see what I can find. There are useful things like paint mixes for Husky colours etc.

Cheers!!!

Good to see that there is a reasonable number of the newsletters about. Looks like I don't need to put mine online, but am of course happy to help with specific enquiries if I can.

Well I've made a start and copied and scanned the 5 Husqvarna Reports I have (30, 31, 32, 34 & 35)  The process I used at work has resulted in 9Mb files for each Report.  Not sure how to make these available via the forum via the internet.  Can I post them somewhere?  They are 20 page pdf documents so Photobucket may not like them. 

Alternatively if I can compress them to 5Mb I can post them on Husky Owners yahoo forum and provide the link from here.  Does anyone know how to compress a pdf to a lower resolution...do you need Adobe Acrobat?

Come on you IT gurus..I need help.  Get this sorted and then we can post all the remaining Reports that people may care to lend me for copying and returning or post themselves.

Am I correct in seeing an ad for the Husky Club in the new issue of VMX?
One assumes that he has paid in advance - but shouldn't future ads be pulled?

[GD66]

 Damn straight, the charlatan b***tard, I sent him a scorching email denouncing his practice of getting newbies to send him $30 US a time, while he sits at home with no intention of fulfilling his obligations in return, and demanded a refund of my subscription...... the silence is deafening....... In addition, I believe VMX mag are under some sort of minor moral obligation to dump his ads in view of the total collapse of any effort on his part to come to the party re following up in response to new members. Your thoughts, Andrew ?

Saw that! He's having a laugh! I've sent an email to VMX expressing my 'surprise' they are still running his ad.
