[amayausers] Re: Lost height adjusters

Peter,
        Sorry about you not having all four risers to begin with.  I guess it's
just starting to set in with me that more and more folks will be purchasing
Amayas from sources other than Melco.  For the first two years after their
release, it seemed the only place you could purchase a "used",
"refurbished", or "demo Amaya" was from Melco.  I've only seen two on E-bay
in the last three years.  I also have to keep in mind, as a tech, that more
and more machines are and will be falling out of the original two year
warranty period.  And that new owners of second hand Amayas may not even get
a warranty.  I just hope that you do in fact get formal training from
someone that knows which end is up to maximize your success.
        Good luck to you.

Ed, actually, since we bought the machine from a
previous owner they were already missing!  But since I
wasn't their for the delivery and setup originally, I
had no idea they were even missing.  But there's a new
sheriff in town now, and I'm getting things right from
the get go!

Anyways thanks to your post I knew to look for them
when we lifted up the machine and sure enough the back
two were gone... yikes... as far as I can tell she was
sewing fine without them, but it clearly isn't the way
it should be... maybe she'll even sew better after I
get them...

I'm going to follow up with Melco, and make sure I get
the right person on the other end, I should be able to
get some (according to a previous Melco tech from
virginia - thanks for the voicemail on that by the
way).

Thanks again for the help...
