Yeah..they are that afraid...especially if it comes out of their pocket,;-) I got a deal here with Boston Pizza. They have 3 X52"Toshibas mounted over their Bar.' The center TV has an intermittent problem. Been up there twice, and I saw the problem. Told them to un-mount the TV, and bring it down to a Serving Level. I get a call from the Bar Tender last night, Hockey is on, and really need someone to come up and fix the set. I told him I don't Service TV's at 11:45PM...hell,,I don't even drink at your Bar that late. I'm really thinking of letting this Commercial stuff go. Boston Pizza only opened last year, so their TV's are not that old, and even though they only have a 90 dayWarranty, and the owner finally realized this...hate to loose the revenue.
Trouble there is...you talk to 5 or 6 different people, and no one knows what is going on. I suspect Toshiba will call me in the next few days, and ask me why I haven't taken care of the problem. -Ed- Tel-Tek Electronics Ontario-Canada [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug Keller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "ELECTRONICS PROFESSIONALS LIST" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, April 18, 2004 5:37 PM Subject: Re: [Techs] ctc203a9 F36649 > Well, if all else fails, I have a nicer tv for my living room.
