    Yeah they have a lid every once in a while. I emailed asking them and they just told me they had no idea when they come in, they definitely don't keep a stock of them.

    they've got to be spare parts from broken systems, which is why they grade the quality of them and why they don't have any reliable stock.

    I ordered once from them. After two weeks they gave me no info on my order when it would be shipped so I canceled. I must have ordered something out of stock but they did a terrible job letting me know about it.
