Liar and thief Greg Strader of gls1electronics.com

Greg used to work for Eldorado Games here in CA years ago (before George moved back East). Greg was in charge of "repairing" Pac/MsPac/Galaga and Space Invaders boards - that was his (George's) bread and butter business back then. Greg also worked on Asteroids and Asteroids Deluxe boards if memory serves. HE was the one that always dropped big goops of silicon and/or hot glue on boards, btw. I always *hated* that!!

I thought the guy was somewhat interesting - the way he repaired boards was totally foreign to me, but he seemed to get the job done one way or another. He liked to talk to himself while repairing stuff which I thought was a little wacky. But, the thing about him that REALLY struck with me was the fact that he lived in his car just outside of Eldorado Games....always in dire straights.

I have wonder if that plays into this current situation at all?

LONG THREAD was an understatement. WTF giving out bogus tracking numbers... like customers are too stupid to track a package to know it is fake? For another, he repairs the pcb several times and only for it to be having same issue.. Hamish, it would been cheaper to hire a hitman than calling him all the time.

Is he back to selling on ebay? I would keep an eye out for his listings, create a new id, and keep bidding on his stuff so hes not selling anything. If hes gonna screw up your stuff, screw with him back
 
If he does I will buy and neg the hell out of him

I got my PP boards back after the cop visited him, one worked and one had the same problem. The whole ordeal of being screwed around by Greg for 8 MONTHS was outrageous!!!! I ended up so frustrated I'm done with PP's. There's a guy in Jacksonville who said he could MAME one of my CP PP for like $400-450. IF I ever decide I want a PP again thats the way I'll go. I spent so much time f*Kng around with GLS it ruined any interest in the game. Like Ham said beware this guy.

Maybe he's too busy moving microwave ovens and color TVs...
 
Maybe he's got a daytime job, and doin' alright?

Industrial Disease?

Opps- wrong song......

He said an old guitar is all he can afford.

Not to make light of the situation- I sent him 10 Asteroids boards in a 2 for 1 trade. I'd gotten them in a bulk buy and didn't really give a damn and didn't want to take the time to go through them since I had tons of crap to sift through as it was.

He ended up sending 4 back and still owed me one; I never got it and finally got tired of badgering him.
 
He can play the honkytonk like anything... Savin' it up for Friday night... ;)
