[amayausers] Re: Identify a sound

Hi Wendy, this is Sharon, Rod's wife.  Rod isn't here at the moment to
answer your question, but yes, he is the tech that worked on Jack's machine.
They are awesome machines and some just take a little adjusting or
replacement parts to run at their best.  If you continue to have problems,
contact Melco (I think maybe you already have...).  They are good to
dispatch a tech for you and techs travel all over.  We're guessing you are
having the same problem that many (including ours) had.  Hang in there!
