Like I said 3 times before,....he's a friend,..and he understands the
situation.
I am only making a miniture effort to repair it. He plans on buying a new
one,...if it don't hold up.
We undrestand that this is NOT a good unit to accept for service,..and will
be sure NOT to accept anymore in the future.
Thanks,
LLW
