Ok thanks everybody for input. I just sent Drake Email to see what
kind of service they offer. I would like whole unit checked out soup
to nuts. I want to make sure running AOK to present config and so
forth. Unit is very nice and I will probably keep, but if I decide to
sell I would like to tell potential owner that factory has recently
blessed unit.

Service is always expensive due to parts and labor costs and shipping
the product back and forth.

1. Labor to effect repair, troubleshooting and replacement of components.
2. Parts and the associated costs of stocking parts.
3. Test equipment, calibrating the test equipment.
4. QA final testing the product to meet specifications.
5. Management costs.
6. Shipping and boxing.

Lots of ways to spend money to support repairing a product.
