Hi Augiedoggy,
Were your non vidric taps fully machined? I can take the loss of the shank, but the rough cast interior really pissed me off.
And it's not a good feeling when contacting the seller about this issue I got a nasty response accusing me of being "stupid fake buyer". Let's see if...
Buyer beware for those who are thinking about buying the Perlick/Intertap hybrid from Aliexpress. I bought this one that was listed in earlier posts...
