Uncle Dave just reminded me about reading
a thread by George Kaye a while back
explaining that he used to carry Barbetta.
But since too many were being returned for
repair, he stopped selling them.
I had also heard of Barbetta reliability problems elsewhere. Keep in mind that this
is for the older models, and not the
present line. Hopefully, their new products
have resolved past problems.
Caveat Emptor (UD,the spelling is close enough for me).
