If someone sends an out-of-warrantee ST to Atari, the charge for a complete
replacement of the unit is only $95.  We can't control the prices charged by
service centers, but in this case it seems to be a bit out of line.

The $95 charge includes return shipping, and will get your friend the latest
rev of the ST from our warehouse, including ROMs and modulator.

The address is: Atari Corporation, 390 Caribbean Dr., Door 17, Sunnyvale CA
94088, Attn: Out-of-Warrantee Service.
