[elektron] Re: problems with my machinedrum please help....

2003-04-19 by endlessnessisticman

The MD is a solid machine.  These are very few cases where there are
problems.  I have had no problems with mine.  I'm sure these are a few
models that made it through quality control which they must be
refining as they try to meet demands.

My fiance cracked my screen.  Now we are thinking about going to
Sweden.  They pay for the shipping if it soessn't work but in this
case she broke it through neglect.

If you are in the States the import duty is quite low.  We have alot
of exports.
