Selling Used GC-1000's [RE-wrenches]

[matthew tritt]

Hi Mark,

The "Lemon Law" comment is really a good one. Has anyone else considered the
dilemma that many of us may be facing one of these days (especially people
down in the Los Angeles area) concerning the absence of the factory that
issued all those 5 year warranties?  Should the State assume the role of
warrantor, (not likely), the installer, (even less likely), or the party who
acquired the remains of Advanced Energy?

Maybe a warranty repair facility could be financed through the bankruptcy
court?

Matt
