I quit buying from asti several years ago, first of all the tech or whatever scott was, had the personality of a wet dish rag, was arrogant and extremely condescending , totaly different from Henry who I thought owned company, It started back when the oem rca splitter was nla, this scott fellow told me that he had 2 beta test samples, he would ship me one, no, it was not free, as a matter of fact I paid $80 for it, a few weeks later they were selling them for about $30 , I called to complain, and the response was feel lucky I got one, well, I tried them one more time, I ordered an aftermarket fly for zenith projo, (I had picked unit up,was 70 mile round trip), it lasted 1 hour, I ordered another one, same thing, so I called and spoke to scott, He promptly informed me that there had to be something wrong with set and that I probably did not understand the basics of flyback scan system, and that I was only one to complain, they refunded my money, I ordered one from crc, it worked, AND I HAVE NEVER, NOR SHALL I EVER ORDER ANYTHING FROM ASTI.!!!!! charles betzler Best Electronics repair1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "techforce" <techforce@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 10:37 AM Subject: [TechAssist] ASTI HV Block > A While ago I got an HV Block from ASTI Magnetics in NJ.
