Dear Rick,

My favorite "one-year warranty" is the one that you get on a window
air conditioner. In general, you will use this for three months - at
the most - during the first year you own it, so in effect, that "one-
year" warranty is really onyl for one season of just a few months.

Best,

Joe

P.S. In three years of very heavy use, my AOR AR7030 Plus has not even
"hiccuped." I can even say the same for all of my Sony ICF-SW7600GRs,
the oldest of which is six years old. Currently, all parts for these
receivers are easily available and, I believe, will remain so for
years to come. Given reasonable care, these radios seem almost
"unbreakable!"

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.

3 months? You DON'T live in Florida. I've had to run mine most of
the days in January and February for the last few years.

About two something years ago,I bought a new Whirlpool 18,000 btu window
unit airconditioner from the Cowboy Maloney's Electric City
www.cowboymaloney.com store (there are at least four Cowboy Maloney's
Electric City stores in the Jackson metro area.Last January,I bought my
new Sony Trinitron Wega 27 inch flat screen tv set at the Cowboy
Maloney's Electric City store on Harding Street) on Ellis Ave,about two
miles South of doggy's couch.Because my old thirty five year old
Dearborn (made in Dallas,Texas) window unit airconditioner finally
kicked the bucket.Interestingly,there is/was a guy who used to work at
Dearborn,something about the J.F.Kennedy thingy in 1963.I was at ammo
school at Fort Knox,Kentucky when all of that mess happened.
