Thanks for all the support guys. I should hear something from them via email tomorrow. I am glad I didnt have this kind of failure at a time when failure was not an option. I guess I had better stick with what I know wont fail, Busse-kin. After I got my first Busse, I dont even hardly look at other makers. I am sure their are others that are great, but I have not found one with the great culture surrounding their products the way Busse has built.
