I did see a post on Yahoo that since the warranties are covered by a 3rd party company, they will still be good however, the customer may have to ship their item off somewhere to get warranty work done on it. I'd check with them for sure though. I did have a TV once that actually started acting up twice during the manufacturer's warranty period, and a VCR that acted up once while under warranty. I got them both fixed for free and after that, both gave me many years of service. Those are the only instances I've ever had to use a warranty on an electronics product. Most electronics items I've bought lasted me several years and in many cases, I only got rid of them because something much better was available. As for extended warranties, I've never bought one until a recent purchase of a flat screen TV. It was an expensive purchase so we got the exteneded warranty though the manufacturer. Since it's a Magnavox, it's easy to get it fixed if needed. -- 73, Jonathan Helis, KB5IAV Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://mail.brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net
