replacement part help needed!

[denanbob]

We need to replace the bottom wall channel pieces from the used Esther Williams pool that we bought. I called the Delair group directly and they said I could order it from them but it would take 3 weeks to come in. By the time we get this pool up and running, it's gonna be time to close it. GRRRRRR! I've been calling around to pool stores within a 2 hour drive from me to see if anyone carries them in stock and I can't find anybody. I need 6 pieces of T1657 - regular wall channel and 4 pieces of T1700 - special wall channel (a tad shorter than the regular). Hey, Dennis........you don't have any spare used parts I could buy from you, do ya? LOL!! I wonder if I could locate pool installers in my area and see if they have used parts available? I am desperate!! Any ideas?

UPDATE: I called a local pool company that deals with Esther Williams pools and he called the Delair Group to get a price and shipping information and they told him it would leave their warehouse in 4-5 days with another 1-2 days for UPS delivery. So that's much better than 3 weeks. I wonder if it is an order from a dealer if it moves higher on the prioirity list? Oh well, I just hope the parts really do get here in 7 days.
