As for the claims of 'made in america', I think this was brought up a year ago and the units are assembled in the USA, but a lot of the critical parts might be imported....hence the lack of availability on some! BUT, seems to me there was a thread going in the other amaya chat early this year...some one had gotten 'taken' on buying a used machine...I can't remember who or where but there was a tech talking about picking it up to have for spare parts....might be worth you posting a note on both chats about parts available! Hope it works out for you. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
