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.
