Corey, Have you ever had a D52W20 model try to start three times? I narrowed the problem to the SSB, but that's it, since my Chipper Checker is not working... Board is on BO for a month...is you have any suggestions, I'm all ears.. I did rule out the audio circuit and tuner as the problem.

I have had to replace one or two tuners, and was not required to replace the entire board. I purchase my parts from my local distributor, and file the claim electronically to Thomson. I have had very little problems with rejected claims. The one I have had have been corrected and accepted within 5 days. Thomson has a payment schedule of checks being mailed twice a month, so I normally receive payment before my parts from my distributor are due on Net 30 terms.
