Thanks Bob!

I have stories about Yamaha's other items ... I used to repair Stereo equipment at a very, very good establishment. (It was such a great place to work and the wages were so good that I quit my more prestigious job as a Jr. Electronics Engineer with a company that made mil-spec and space-rated absolute position encoders, thick-film hybrid circuits and weapon management systems for helicopters).

We sold Yamaha, Macintosh Labs, SAE, Klipsch, B&W, B&O, Crown, AKG, Dual, Teac, Tascam, Celestion, Stanton, EPI, Shure, Kloss Video, etc. ... We had a great shop and our service manager was a former engineer at Tektronix and Klipsch and Associates.

None of the other manufacturers came close to the support and professionalism that Yamaha provided. If you got stumped on a repair, their technical support was the best. We would get a box of service manuals in before the product was even available for sale ... and Yamaha would foot the bill for several days of service school, including room and meals, usually in Dallas or Oklahoma City. The only other manufacturer that ever provided a school was Klose Video of Boston.

Oh, and Yamaha broke less than anything else, and when it did, was easier to fix.

Yamaha has it together.

Tom
