Hi Vicki
Thanks for the info. So far so good with me, but I suppose if they fail at
least syntec is admitting there's still a problem. I will see how I go. If I
have to send them back one more time I'd be thinking about a refund. The
postage alone is costing a lot. I've sent my mhk40 back for a check but haven't
heard anything yet. Will you accept the new batch of 8020's or will you get a
refund?
Thanks again for the update. :)
Cheers,
Lizzie
