I think you have to register first and for me that was the problem area, the system kept saying it had send an email for me to complete the process, it never did but this morning it was working and let me log in so I guess the site owner intervened. I suggest just try dropping him a PM/email

Great stuff, Im a fan of Elmers engines but no way would I pay the going rate for his book unless I won the lotto but for $25 im looking forward to actually seeing those photos that are just smudges in the online plans

Whatever is causing this ordering software "bug" is driving me and my webmaster crazy, which in my case is not a long trip -
If you would like my digital copy of ELMER'S ENGINES just send me $25 via PayPal to (see email address in profile) -  Or a personal check (US Funds) or Money Order - to
Roland Friestad - (send a PM for mailing address) -
PDF files will be sent anywhere in the world First Class Mail postage paid -
I apologize for the problem and sure wish we could figure it out -
Don't forget to include your mailing address and e-mail address

The bad part of the situation is that it makes you wonder if the whole thing is just a scam. I am sure that it is legitimate but in today's environment it is easy to suspect a scam when you go through the whole registration and then you are left hanging.

I did not mean to imply that it is a scam. I was just saying that there are so many scams that we become leery when a site takes your information and then just quits. I also have been in contact with him and he has been very accommodating and just caught in a computer glitch which he is trying to fix

Pretty painless here, set up account this morning, ordered this afternoon, and have already
had an e-mail from Roland confirming delivery address.

Looking forward to seeing the photos instead of the black blurry blobs on John-Tom...

Cheers, Joe

Registered yesterday, but couldn't seem to get logged on. No problem logging on and ordering this morning. I did notice that, after clicking the
"PayPal" button, I had to scroll down and click the "Complete Order" button in order to get transferred to PayPal.

Looks like 7 orders from just the MEM folks so far. At something like $.50 per plan not a bad resource to have or point newbies to. Wonder how many of these engines have been build over the years  :thinking:
