Gary,
You are without a doubt the most noble and honorable person I've ever done business with. I'm running another test this afternoon. My wife's mother (just like her grandparents), live about 2 miles away. I'm going to pack the 2000 in the box (to keep it safe) run it down to her house and plug it in. I'm hoping (truly hoping) I won't experience the problem there. I'm absolutely loving this PSR-2000. I manged to get a clean spot last night, and MAN I HAD A BLAST!.. I recorded a song using the sweet saprano with a hip hop beat and ooohhhhh baby one hell of a slow jam! Again, thanks for your great offer and I'll keep you posted.
