I am thinking about picking up a SW pro that would go on location and be at home for a bit, I don't anticipate having it for more than a year. What is the deal with Stern replacing any bad node boards under warranty? Is it just 30 days or do they go longer with them?

Thanks. My distributor has told me 6 months so a decent bit of time. They seem to go out quickly hoping it is one of those things that either breaks quickly or lasts a long time.

Yes they are distinct, in some cases the 'same' node board has slight variations between games as well. These worry me longer term, e.g. what happens in 5-10 + years.

When I posted this I had a deposit down on a spike game that I ended up cancelling, I still haven't bought a spike game. We take a big hit on depreciation in new zealand on NIBs. Between that and the cost of spike boards there are only a few themes I think would get me to put the cash down.

I would love to see them do this. It would make me MUCH more comfortable buying a game if the boards were more common. I hope this is correct.
