Walt,

You are correct about the warranty. I purchased my 6000 from a gentleman in California who stated it had full factory warranty.

After several months I was in contact with Eddie Williams and was asked to beta test and upgrade with another 6000 owner who was experiencing a similar problem.

At that time I found out Factory Warranty is only good when the purchase is from an Authorized Dealer not a re-seller of un-opened merchandise.
