Hat's off to Sumiko/Project. Happy ending to "Could this be true"

A couple weeks ago I asked the audiophile what they thought about "Could this be true, or am I getting the run around.? Sumiko is telling me that the on/off and speed box issues I am having with my Classic SB TT are environmental. They say static? I need some feedback." 

Happy ending. I got a phone call from a large local autophile store to let me know that by going through them, Pro-Ject/Sumiko was giving me FULL ORIGINAL  price for the TT in store credit. Yes, the full original price of the turntable, in store credit on any make or model. Didn't have to be a Pro-Ject. 

I am thrilled.
