Mr. Arnoud Maherbe



Thank you very much for your testing.



1) As I have to go out of Japan because of urgent business trip to Hong Kong and return to Japan by Early March,

Could you kindly accept to ship my order (Smith clock CE 2194/17) after my coming back here so that I can

avoid to receive it during my absence ?

2) Could you please accept my payment by card to you directly, not via paypal, because this is much convenient for us.



3) If these are acceptable for you, I will make further-contact to ask you to ship and my visa credit No.. Then could you

Please accept above.



Your kind understanding would be highly appreciated.



Thank you and best regards

M.Ito/M&K

3)Re payment, it is O.K. for us to use credit card but we have not used paypal. So far overseas’ supplier

draw payment directly from our card not via paypal. Then if we use paypal, would you kindly wait for our

problem to use paypal but anyway please wait for a time being.

Mr Masao Ito San,

You can use this email adress if that is easier for you.
We will test the clock we have in stock and reply with the costs and postage.
From experience we prefer creditcard payment via Paypal. Is that acceptable for you too ?

Kind regards

Arnoud Malherbe

Mr Masao San,


We have a CE 2194 clock in stock for the Sunbeam Alpine. It is in used but good condition.

Please confirm the wiring of your car ( negative to earth or positive to earth) as this important to the functioning of the clock ( wrong wiring leads to damage of the clock.

Our mail adress is also on our website.

We ship to Japan regularly, so there is no issue on the shipping.

Attached your fax


Best regards

Arnoud Malherbe

(He has a seriesV painted #100, he sent a picture too)
