Amazing.  Yes, I have a suggestion; make them pony up.  It's sometimes
surprising what a company will do when you refuse to take their word as
final.  I've gotten excellent response from my local H/Z store and from
the Zenith regional people when I thought they short-changed me on
*any*thing, including a Flat Tension Mask monitor that just couldn't
be adjusted to my preference (I got a new one in a strsight swap).

Wish I had my phone list; someone in Glenview should *roast* for this
snafu, if it's as simple as it seems.  I'll pass on the story to one or
two others who may be able to comment and/or act on Roger's behalf.
Don't take any BULLE from ZDS, if at all possible!
