Bob, The machine stopped working 3 or four weeks ago. It turned out that some of the connectors were loose. It stopped working on Friday. I was told to try a few things that did not work.=20 Now I have been asked to Reseat cables at the cpu, reseat the keypad cable and tap all of the buttons in case one is sticking.=20 Open the thread feed assy covers behind the head and below the thread tree) and inspect and clean & reseat the thread feed pcb connections also do the same at the colour change card on the upper left side of the needle case. I don=92t want to play embroidery machine mechanic. I have a business to run and other machines to run. Id like new machine without problems or I want my money back. I have recommeded the Amaya on a few other lists. I think I have been too hasty. I may have have to go back and change my posts. Toyota sold me a dud ages ago which they quickly replaced. Anand Anand Although I have considered an Amaya, I do not own one so I have no=20 personal experience with them. However, in fairness I think you can find a so called "lemon" in most brands and granted, some brands may have=20 more of these lemons than others [not referring to the Amaya]. You don't mention what kind of problems you are having with your=20 machine, could you give us some idea of what has been causing you grief=20 and what has been done to this point to correct the problems ? I think this may be a perfect example of why all of us should make after sales support just as important as the machine itself when looking to=20 purchase a machine [Amaya or other]. If in fact you do have a lemon and=20 Melco comes through and rectifies the problem .... then I think your=20 Amaya purchase can still be a good one. On the other hand if you are=20 left stuck with a so called lemon and Melco chooses not to correct the=20 problem[s], then obviously that will not hold well with you or perhaps=20 others who are looking to buy a machine.
