Hmmm, interesting John.

The reviews I've read on EHam were all good, except for the equipment they 
didn't repair because they said original parts weren't available.  People 
seemed happier with the East Coast facility than the West Coast; and I think 
the few comments on the TS-2000 group I'm on echo this.

But, since it is out of warranty, he might consider a local dealer or 
service person.
