Re: [T3] Hard to find parts

<x-charset iso-8859-1>T34 fans:

I just found a guy who has at least FOUR, yes, FOUR T34's that he's parting
out here in Texas.

If you have any parts requests, send them directly to me and I'll forward
them to him.  I'm probably going to be building an interface for his website
(not finished yet) to send parts requests directly to him.
