Console repairs

I remember reading on this group about someone that has a repair for a Explorer console. I am unable to remember who or what. Could someone please refresh my memory. Thanks, Steve

Hi Bill, thanks for your response. I failed to make it clear in my first post that I am concerned with the leather on the console lid that the driver can rest his right elbow on as he drives. My console with the temp & compass still works great. Steve

Hi Bill, Thanks for the response and link. Just what I was looking for. I have one of Duane's radio fixes in my Ford...still working great after 4 months. With the great service I received from him from the radio part, I will give him a try with the console repair. Thanks again, Steve

Although the radio fix works (usually), the guy is a swindler. I wouldn't send a dollar his way for a radio fix, a console repair kit, or anything else.

Someone, I don't know who, figured out the cause of the failures in these Ford Explorer radios and posted the repair info online, I don't know where.

Mr. "Shareamemory_but_don't_share_someone_else's_free_information" found that information. He said so himself, in a post to this group years ago.

Mr. Shareamemory began also sharing that other person's knowledge freely on his own web site... begging for donations in the beginning.

Then he pulled his free page, and began his paypal business of charging money for the info.

A few people from this group, already knowing what the radio fix was, continued talking about and freely sharing the info themselves, which cut into Mr. Shareamemory's new business.

Mr. Shareamemory began having his pictures of the problematic circuit board removed from free hosting sites whenever someone posted them for others to see, had his own free page removed from The Wayback Machine internet archives so nobody could find it any more, and even impersonated an attorney and sent bullying email threats to somebody who posted their own story and pics of their own radio repair job on their own web page.

In short, he stole someone else's work and made it his own, and works diligently to prevent anybody from benefiting from it without paying him.

BTW, I have Mr. Shareamemory's old *free* fixit page, complete with photos, still saved on my hard drive. I consider it still free, in the public domain, just as it was when he posted it. I'd share it freely if I knew how and where I could do it, without getting harassed and threatened by the chump.
