Contacting Alejandro Martin

Does anyone know if Alejandro Martin from Belgium still makes and sells parts to restore Judson Compressors?

I have been trying to contact him but no answer?

Hope to hear from someone soon

Best regards

Like a lot of one man restorers and remanufacturers Alejandro can be difficult to get hold of.

It largely depends on how much work he has at any one time. He gives preference to completeing existing orders and works through certain kinds in batches e.g. a batch of Judson Kits; a batch of Okrasa linkages, a batch of Speedwell Kits.

At these times he will limit his time on the computer otherwise he'd not be able to complete his existing orders in a reasonable timescale.

This you will appreciate once he has taken your order but proves to be frustrating when trying to make your first contact.

The only practical advice I can give you is to keep on trying, once contact is made he will follow it through to completion.

If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong.

I couldn't get through to him through emails over a few months.. I ended up purchasing from George Folchi who replied in fairly good time to emails so perhaps you could try him for the parts you are after.

I would prefer to deal with alejandro ... He´s located in Europe so i don´t have to pay the import tax of 25%

Does George Manufacture the Rotor ? I cant find it in his parts list...

Thanks for the fast answers

Best Regards

Claus

For me the same, sendet 2 months ago a couple mails and until now no reply. I was tired of waiting so i sendet my order to George and he replied within a couple days. It might be a more expensive buying from George when you are in Europe but the next time when i need something for my Judson i contact George again..
