Default Has anyone gotten their ECI cylinders back yet?
(I asked this in the other thread but I kinda wanted it front and center so more folks saw it)

Has anyone who sent their cylinders into ECI gotten them back yet???????

Just a point of reference:
I "hand-delivered" my B-cylinders Jan. 18th.
Other than "they're in the works"...no word.

I sent my B cylinders in about the same time you sent your A ones in. I receieved new cyliners about 2 -3 weeks later.

So no one has gotten their cylinders back yet (I mean reworked cylinders). I have an estimated deliver date on April 17th. I am not counting on it now. Just brought airline tickets for a late May trip. I could get to my destination for the time it takes to drive to the commercial airport (I live out of the place) and get though the security. Not having an airplane to fly is PAINFUL! On the brighter side, I really made good progress on my 10.
