For the record, the vendor who sold me the bad wheel (who shall remain
nameless) saw my posting, and promptly contacted me to offer to make
things right. I decided to decline his offer for a few reasons:
1. I picked out and inspected the wheel in person, so it's my own $^#%
fault for not inspecting it carefully enough, and there was no
misrepresentation on his part.
2. It's been a few months since I bought it, anyway.
3. I found an alternate use for it, as a portable antenna base that
I'll use in my display at the upcoming MRCG meet in SLO in May. Take a
look at the bottom entry on my M998 pictures page if you're curious:

Not the cheapest antenna base in the world, but it's quite servicable,
and pretty unique! :-)
