"Put unit back into the system and it sounded like it should BUT now the Manley logo back lights do not work. Manley will be sending me the light PCB to install myself."
Funny you mention the front light not working.
I recently auditioned the Chinook SE to see if it would be an upgrade or lateral move against my tubed phono(Fosgate V.2 now out of production)
The "Manley" billboard on the front panel IMO, is WAY TOO BRIGHT, therefore distracting. It was the first thing to catch my attention as soon as it lit up! If I owned that unit, it would be the first thing I disconnect.
Otherwise, I enjoyed the Chinook. Support AFTER shelling out your hard earned cash is extremely important. It sounds like Manley did the right things for you.
I say this because I sent my 2 year old Foz back to the distributor 2 weeks ago and unfortunately, they have to send it to their repair guys resulting in extended
down time, AND I may be faced with opening my wallet for the repair bill AND shipping! Meanwhile, I'm listening with a $120 backup.
