I bought the rebuilt one I changed out in N24ZM from Drakes. Nice folks.
I remember being shocked at the then $600 cost until they told me what a
new one went for. Seeing as the one in N24ZM didn't make the 500 hr inspe
ction I did talk to TCM about warranty. The reply I got was that the failu
re was considered "normal". After a hung up the phone it was a few days be
fore the pain wore off and I could sit again.
