1. DEFECTIVE PARTS:
It's always easy to blame a part for a problem in your
kit, Before you conclude that a part may be bad,
thoroughly check your work. Today's semiconductors and
passive components have reached incredibly high
reliability levels, and it’s sad to say that our human
construction skills have not! But on rare occasions a sour
component can slip through. All our kit parts carry the
Ramsey Electronics® Warranty that they are free from
defects for a full ninety (90) days from the date of
purchase. Defective parts will be replaced promptly at our
expense. If you suspect any part to be defective, please
mail it to our factory for testing and replacement. Please
send only the defective part(s), not the entire kit. The
part(s) MUST be returned to us in suitable condition for
testing. Please be aware that testing can usually
determine if the part was truly defective or damaged by
assembly or usage. Don't be afraid of telling us that you
'blew-it', we're all human and in most cases, replacement
parts are very reasonably priced.
2. MISSING PARTS:
Before assuming a part value is incorrect, check the parts
listing carefully to see if it is a critical value such as
a specific coil or IC, or whether a RANGE of values is
suitable (such as "100 to 500 uF"). Often times,
common sense will solve a mysterious missing part problem.
If you're missing five 10K ohm resistors and received five
extra 1K resistors, you can pretty much be assured that
the '1K ohm' resistors are actually the 'missing' 10 K
parts ("Hum-m-m, I guess the 'red' band really does
look orange!") Ramsey Electronics® project kits are
packed with pride in the USA. If you believe we packed an
incorrect part or omitted a part clearly indicated in your
assembly manual as supplied with the basic kit by Ramsey,
please write or call us with information on the part you
need and proof of kit purchase.
3. FACTORY REPAIR OF
ASSEMBLED KITS:
To qualify for Ramsey
Electronics® factory repair, kits MUST:
1. NOT be assembled with
acid core solder or flux.
2. NOT be modified in any
manner.
3. BE returned in
fully-assembled form, not partially assembled.
4. BE accompanied by the
proper repair fee. No repair will be undertaken until we
have received the MINIMUM repair fee (1/2 hour labor) of
$25.00, or authorization to charge it to your credit
card account.
5. INCLUDE a description
of the problem and legible return address. DO NOT send a
separate letter; include all correspondence with the
unit. Please do not include your own hardware such as
non-Ramsey cabinets, knobs, cables, external battery
packs and the like. Ramsey Electronics®, reserves
the right to refuse repair on ANY item in which we find
excessive problems or damage due to construction
methods. To assist customers in such situations, Ramsey
Electronics®, reserves the right to solve their
needs on a case-by-case basis.
The repair is $36.00 per
hour, regardless of the cost of the kit. Please understand
that our technicians are not volunteers and that set-up,
testing, diagnosis, repair and repacking and paperwork can
take nearly an hour of paid employee time on even a simple
kit. Of course, if we find that a part was defective in
manufacture, there will be no charge to repair your kit
(But please realize that our technicians know the
difference between a defective part and parts burned out
or damaged through improper use or assembly.)
4. REFUNDS:
You are given ten (10) days to examine our products. If
you are not satisfied, you may return your unassembled kit
with all the parts and instructions and proof of purchase
to the factory for a full refund. The return package
should be packed securely. Insurance is recommended.
Please do not cause needless delays, read all information
carefully.
