[RE-wrenches] old sanyos failing Iso test

[Jerry Shafer]

To all that were asking about warranty on the old Sanyos, I was told that
Panasonic that took over the Sanyo product will warranty the product, that
being said, David was the contact I had and who is it that told me this,
please take note that the Sanyo warranty was less then most other
manufactures.
