Bob, A tech came today and fixed the problem but it appears that some of the plastic take up levers got slightly damaged when the machine went and threw it self out of wack. When I was evaluating the Machine before purchasing it some on another list said plastic metal plastic take your pick. Their words are coming to haunt me. The machine is working but is not sewing as good as it used to. The stitch quality has gone down. The way the machine throws its self out of wack from time to time reminds me of the Toyota that that had similar problems. There is perhaps a defective chip some where in the electronics that is playing up from time to time is my guess. Now that some of the other parts of the machine are damaged as well. I am hoping that Melco comes good and replaces this Machine for me I will be calling them again tomorrow. Anand Anand Glad to hear that Melco is getting involved and I am sure they will fix these machines problems for you ...... maybe even complete machine replacement if necessary. I do not know you personally but do know you through a number of embroidery groups and when you say a machine has a problem ..... then it has a problem. It is unlikely that Melco can / will compensate you for the down time and frustration you have endured because of your Amaya problems [and only an embroiderer can understand what that is like] but in fairness to them, there are some very good people involved with Melco in one capacity or another .... including some in this group. Now I have criticized some of the things that Melco has done [just my opinion] but I have never doubted their dedication to improving the Amaya or satisfying their customers. To those in this group who are involved hhwith Melco, my hat is off to you for the help you provide. Good luck and hope things work out well for you, your machine and business. Bob .
