Xpantastic!

With my luck my M12 just lost 2 character segments last nite on one 
of the displays.  I contacted Armen here in NYC directly knowing he 
is the only one who has stock of the displays what the cost of one is 
and of course he says I would need to bring the whole unit in to get 
it serviced before he can determine a price? WTF? I asked if I can 
just bring the display board and have him just replace the one 
display instead of lugging the whole board in and he said no, no he 
needs the whole unit.  When I mention I was out of state and didn't 
want to make a useless trip if the price was out of my range he then 
throws out a quote that it could be $350 - $500?? and also depending 
what else needs serviced?? As I clearly stated to him there was 
nothing else needed to be done besides the one display he says well 
just bring it in and we'll discuss..knowing his shadiness from having 
dealt with him in the past he would have probabaly swap some parts 
out of it to make it defective and then turnaround and jack me up for 
other repair costs.  That is why I have no intention of bringing the 
whole unit in and will just avoid him totally.  Thought I share 
my .02 experience.

So if anyone has a display for sale please let me know? ;)
