HI

A friend of mine bought his new VR3 months ago.
Same problem

I helped get the machine back to Delta P through a returning friend.
It seems to be a common problem in the "newer" VR3's...

Luckily mine works fine (touch wood). I have an older model with V3.03aA programming.

What get to me, is that there seems to be an inherent problem with the machine, and the unknowing customer has to pay for shipping and a Customs clearing agent / broker to get the machine cleared through Customs as a export for return, otherwise you have to pay VAT again on the subsequent return, or spend years (in vain) fighting customs..

That seems a bit wrong to me..

Regards

Johan
