This is just a note to let everyone know I'm going to be updating the MASTER INDEX in the not-too-distant future due to the sheer magnitude of archive worthy postings, and I'm going to add a
"TRUSTED COMMANDER PARTS SUPPLIER" category.
We already have some pretty well known suppliers and parts reference sources from all sorts of companies and suppliers, who provide necessary services for our hobby (with reliability and a fair price).
I may rank them with ****, ***, **, or * depending upon personal experience, if they support The Forum with tech assistance, etc. If you have a reference, please post it here, and I'll add it to the list. Eventually I'll probably deactivate this notice when I do the MASTER LIST update.
Right now on the list, a few names that immediately come to mind:
Dan Cook @ Chris Craft Classic Parts
Robert Henkel @ Chris Craft Parts dot com
Dale Kocian, Expert instrument restoration
Joel Lemanski, Hard to find Chris Craft Hardware
George Anderson, Gessford Machine ( "Mr. 427" )
Neal Gottesman, Obsolete Parts & Equipment (distributor parts, electrics)
Mark Coulson @ Exhaust Systems of Alabama

I know there are many I'm forgetting right now, and I'll add those when I search the files and upgrade each post into the MASTER INDEX files. When we find good people who are knowledgable about Chris Craft culture and fair with their pricing, we want to pass this info along !!
Regards,
Paul
