Quoted from Grg:With one distributor in NZ our warranty is minimal.
I do have a US distributor that I would like to support as he's done so much for the community. I've been waiting for an excuse to use his services so here's my chance.
Are you worried about node boards though? They are expensive and if you lose a board or two that can add up fast. Not sure how great CC would be about replacing them even if you bought from them. I have a bad DMD still cause the 'new one' was worse then the bad one with an intermittent line. I completely understand about why you are doing this though.
