**TSW owners**

I am thinking about buying a TSW wheel and was wondering if are any owners/avid users out there that can offer any advice.

It's as simple as sending email saying I would like to purchase a TSW Deluxe.

My advise is........go for the TSW! You won't be sorry you spent the extra money. In fact, I wish I had bought it first off, instead of blowing $130 on another wheel first.

Get the TSW. Last wheel you'll ever buy. Then go to Radio Shack, buy some Linear Taper 100k ohm potentiometers (cat no. 271-092), a can of Tuner Control Lubricant (Cat No. 64-4315), and you are SET. I have abused this wheel (probably using more than the one in my car), and it's held up really well, needing only the occasional pot replacement or a spray of the tuner control. Service is great, too. Visit their site at http://zeus.ia.net/~thomas/ Just announced - a full, lifetime warranty for ALL parts of the TSW, including all electronics. And no, I don't work for either Thomas Enterprises OR Radio Shack! Good Luck, Tom C.

After owning a Thrustmaster for over a year, I purchased a TSW and I am very pleased with it. The build quality is top notch and is constructed in such a way as to be easily modified. The support is excellent. I had a problem with a pot and it was quickly replaced. In fact, they have changed pot suppliers and the new ones are supposed to be vastly improved.

> I am thinking about buying a TSW wheel and was wondering if are any > owners/avid users out there that can offer any advice. I bought my TSW about six months ago. The first one I received was extremely *stiff*. Since I'd never driven with one before, I really didn't know if it was abnormal or not. I wrote Trevor Thomas and he assured me that it was NOT normal. Trev immediately sent me another steering unit and asked me to keep the first one until the replacement arrived so that I would not have to do without. He corresponded with me nearly on a daily basis until the situation was resolved. Of course the second one was perfect... I guess the first one was damaged in shipping or something. The bottom line is that not only is it a quality piece of equipment, but the service is top-notch as well. The TSW is built like a tank and drives like a Ferrari!

I agree. My experience was similar regarding my pot replacement and upgrade to F1 paddle shifters. Trevor is at the front line with every one of his units, and if he can't be, he makes sure someone is. He appreciates the needs of sim racers (it's one of hobbies), particularly league racers who are waiting for their equipment when they could be preparing for the next race. Two more points. I can't count on one hand (finger?) companies that 1. offer a lifetime guarantee on all parts and 2. are willing to share with you all the***details of their manufacturing process! If you haven't checked their web site its at http://soli.inav.net/~thomas/ [address restored] I guess you'll just have to believe me that this is not spam and I'm not affiliated with Thomas Enterprises in any way.
