Saturday trip to Sadoun!

**Blindowl1234** · 11-09-2009 06:12 AM

Well I got up saturday and the wife and I made the 225 mile roundtrip to Columbus to Sadoun. I got everything to motorize my Fortec six footer. Going outside to manually move the dish in the cold wasn't gonna be my thing this year....getting old. I had no trouble finding the place at all....in an industrial park. Got to meet Bill....loaded up the mount, accuator, and Gbox and headed home. That's when the trouble started. I took the old dish down and began to assemble the new mount. Well you know the instructions aren't that great so luckily I took pics of the setup Sadoun had in the parking lot. It looked like I was missing pieces for the mount! After inspecting again even though the box with the mount was factory sealed, a bunch of stuff is missing. So guess I'll be on the phone to Columbus today. Nice trip though. Blind

Glad you got to go there. A few months ago I tried making a Greyhound Bus trip from Akron to Columbus for the express purpose of checking out Sadoun..Unfortunately, taking a Columbus City Bus to the location proved to be more time consuming then I figured..So I didnt make it..(Though I got some nice DVDs at a Half-Price Books Store in North Columbus)

I am sure Sadoun will make things right with you as far as the missing parts..Good luck on your install..

Sadoun has your back Blind.... They won't leave you in the cold.

Did you take any pics while you were there? If so, Do share!......

I wish Sadoun was closer to me so I could make the trip there.....but that's a long trip from Ohio to Minnesota

I didn't get pics of the store front. I got pics of the 6 footer they had out in the parking lot though...for reference when I got back home. If the wife hadn't been with me I'd have bought more stuff probably lol. Blind

I am thinking of taking a trip there too, it is two hours one way.

Once drove from Hibbing Mn to Akron-Canton OH area (New Philly) in an old drill truck. THAT was a trip!

New Philly (And its "twin-city" Dover)..Is a nice area..I can only imagine how long a drive that was..About 20-25 miles south of me..

of course if I did that trip, I'd have to probably rent a friggin cargo van and stop in Iowa on the way to pick up all out Iowa FTA'ers before heading to Ohio
