PowerRoll Delivery Status
By Albert de Boer

I too would like to add my concerns and disgust with the situation
regarding Larry Broadmoore's PowerRoll.  Just as Spencer Chase, I was
an enthusiastic supporter of the PowerRoll.  I did not hesitate to send
the required $1495.00 to Larry Broadmoore and was one of the first
persons to receive one.

There were some initial problems with sticking valves, which were all
resolved with full cooperation from Larry.  I must have taken the unit
apart at least a dozen times to remove glue that kept on bleeding out
and made the valves stick.

Then a major problem occurred and, after contacting Larry, he suggested
that I return the unit to him for repair and update.  The unit was
returned in July 2000 -- yes, almost two years ago -- and since then
I have received nothing but excuses why the repair and update work is
not yet completed.  I have even asked him to return it to me in the
same state I returned it to him.  Still no PowerRoll.

While the PowerRoll was in my possession and valves were not sticking
it performed great on my Chickering Ampico.  I still believe the
product has its place in our 'hobby'.

I have supported Larry and his product to the fullest and have shown
understanding for his alleged personal problems, but enough is enough.
Larry, you not only disappointed me, but you also took my money.
Shame on you!
