Well, I received my Perlicks yesterday and in the process of installing them I realized the machining deficiencies that people are talking about. The "teeth" at the back of the faucet were not beveled inward and are impossible to install on the tower.
I intend to call Superprod.com today and hope this situation can be resolved. I really do hope that this is a one time occurance.
EDIT: Superprod.com is shipping a replacement w/o requiring the bad part back. So as long as my replacement is in good condition, I'll at least have some spare parts for my troubles.
