Hey Anand, Where about are you located? Would you happen to be in the United States? Just like Rod had mentioned, we (as tech's) aren't paid to participate in this list but we are willing to assist you with your problems simply because we believe in the Amaya and Melco alike. We've seen what she's capable of producing and know that any problem you're experiencing can be overcome. If you don't mind, offer up some specifics as to why or how your machine "stopped working". I'm also curious, have you had any formal training on this machine or it's software? Wishing you the best, Ed Orantes -----Original Message----- From: amayausers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:amayausers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Kesavan Sent: Sunday, September 17, 2006 10:39 PM To: amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [amayausers] Re: Lemon Bob, The machine stopped working 3 or four weeks ago. It turned out that some of the connectors were loose. It stopped working on Friday.

I don=92t want to play embroidery machine mechanic. I have a business to run and other machines to run. Id like new machine without problems or I want my money back. I have recommeded the Amaya on a few other lists. I think I have been too hasty. I may have have to go back and change my posts. Toyota sold me a dud ages ago which they quickly replaced. Anand Anand Although I have considered an Amaya, I do not own one so I have no=20 personal experience with them. However, in fairness I think you can find a so called "lemon" in most brands and granted, some brands may have=20 more of these lemons than others [not referring to the Amaya]. You don't mention what kind of problems you are having with your=20 machine, could you give us some idea of what has been causing you grief=20 and what has been done to this point to correct the problems ? I think this may be a perfect example of why all of us should make after sales support just as important as the machine itself when looking to=20 purchase a machine [Amaya or other]. If in fact you do have a lemon and=20 Melco comes through and rectifies the problem .... then I think your=20 Amaya purchase can still be a good one. On the other hand if you are=20 left stuck with a so called lemon and Melco chooses not to correct the=20 problem[s], then obviously that will not hold well with you or perhaps=20 others who are looking to buy a machine.
