Going a little stir crazy

[wes murphy]

My DVR has been down for a week and a half. The EMI filter fried itself and I don't know if a power surge burnt it out or if it just happened. Mike at Teknatool wasn't sure if the other boards were damaged, so I ended up taking all the electronics out and sending them in. Got a UPS notification today and it looks like it going to another week before I get them back. Given the age of my lathe, I asked Mike how many upgrades/updates had been made since my lathe was made. He told me 6 had been made, so I told him to replace the brains with a new board. OUCH! Expensive, but I get another 5 year warranty and basically have a new machine. Can't wait to get it and up and running. Got some wood just begging to be turned. They certainly didn't make things easy on changing the boards on these Nova's.

HA! Started reading this and wondered what the problem was... So what that your DVR went out? So, your favorite shows aren't being recorded. Big deal! Go out to the shop and turn... Geesh, no brainer. Ahhhh, but you mean your lathe...:D THAAAAAAT DVR. Guess you'll have to do the opposite and go inside and watch TV. ;)

Wes, can you say just how expensive these repairs and upgrades are? Thanks just wondering in case my 2010 model ever get fried.
