Apparently things were running too smoothly in my life. My luck with finding a Target in an out of the way "berg" here in California who was able to locate some backstock of Vinotemp 28s at a warehouse and have it shipped to me seemed too good to be true....It was.
I received my "twins" about a little over a week ago and prepped them up to start seasoning.. They were in fact 28 counts just like I ordered. No worries there...Thermo-electric....check....everything was in order.
I unfortunately took everything at face value which was my fault. I shoved the Manual underneath one of the coolers and forgot about it......That is...until my order from mtmouse came with 6 drawers and 4 shelves all TOP NOTCH.
Unfortunately NONE of the drawers or shelves fit ALL were off by about 1/4 inch too large. Man what a bummer. I compared Coolidor model numbers with those that other CP members have...check...I them compared them to the one I have on my vinotemp manual..........DAMMIT there's a small difference. The ones they shipped me were VT-TE28S and not the VT-28TEDS or VT-28TEDS-SS that everyone else seems to have, despite ASKING SPECIFICALLY and double-checking.
Now don't get me wrong, the Vinotemps work great and look great....they are quite/stable etc...but unfortunately it's not what I ordered....
Since they work well....the temperature readings on the panel are accurate with what my hygrometers register, I'm going to ask my Father in Law, who's a carpenter by trade to see if he can shave a little wood off the sides so I can get them to fit. The drawers might require a little more but I'm pretty certain I can get it done. I'd just hate to mess with GREAT shelving from MTMOUSE....
Anyway.
Hope nobody else has to go through this...albeit pretty trivial, just a big let down after the wife calls to tell me "Your new shelves have arrived".
MTMOUSE Thank you so much for your work and speedy delivery.
