Hi Jim,
I have replaced Samsung DLP parts and Zenith Plasma parts and they send the
parts out, no charge. I wouldn't return a $1.00 dud either. Walter Wood thought
it must have been a printing error but this came verbally from the parts
supplier, Andrews Electronics. BTW you mentioned a lamp retail price being
that much, ($700.00) I thought they were closer to $ 300-$ 400. I haven't
replace any that were not under warranty yet, so haven't checked. But if you
have replace any that were not under warranty and charged that much, how did
the customer react ? Can't imagine paying that kind a repair bill along with
service call and labor and being happy about it. Especially on set that is less
than two or three years old. At the rate that they are needing to be replaced
already, this could, I think, end up in a class action suit. Unless the mfrs
change their policy on lamps.

Not Hitachi but we have replaced light engines in Sony, Samsung and RCA
and they cost a lot more than that! I wonder if the Hitachi light engine
would fit the RCA? That sounds more like the retail price of the lamp.
Sony charges 1.00 dud on their lamp but I don't return them when it
would cost 5 or 6 $'s to get 1 $ back.
