I wonder for $4300, do you get a 3 month warranty or a whole year. Most
likely that does not include parts and labor. Warranty is probably
voided
if you had a cigarette or cigar within 10 feet of it. If you want you
probably can buy the extended warranty for a mere $500. Isn't that
about
how those things go? Oh, one more thing, if you radio is over five
years
old, and the $3.00 on/off switch broke, you can't get a spare part and
you
are just advised to junk it and buy a new one. Ric in Wisconsin.

Come on guys, I was just joking with ya. Years ago my brother in law bought
a million dollar printing press for his business. It came with a one year
warranty. Why is it that if you buy a $200 TV or a $4300 radio, or a
million dollar machine, you get a one year warranty? For that price they
should say "if your great great great grandkid brings it in for repairs, we
will stand behind it". Ric.
