Some guy once brought back a 2 year old compressor (used for spray painting). The comparable model at the time was selling for about $350.00. He didn't want an exchange, he wanted his money back, so they settled with him for about $250.00! We who worked there always had a private joke: Bring ANYTHING back to Sears and you will get your money back (even if you didn't buy it from Sears)! I really think that their return policy is set at a local basis for some of the things that aren't automatic replacements. I am about to test them out here soon. I bought a reconditioned auto analyzer last fall that had a 90-day warranty. I didn't use it until a few weeks ago, and the RPM pickup seems to be defective. I'm going to take it back and let them check it out at the store to wee if they have the same problem. I'll let you all know what happens. Russ Pierce drufl!rkp
