Chakster, You educated me by stating that 2juki changes or obliterates the serial number. If true, that alone would void any warranty of any kind. I certainly would not argue with that logic. A case of caveat emptor.
So what about William Thakker? I purchased a few MM cartridges from him a few years ago, when the MM thread was so active. They arrived in factory packaging with what appear to be unaltered serial numbers, and of course the condition was as new.
The irony is that many of the cartridges sold NOS on eBay are attractive, because you simply cannot find them at all here in the US, which brings us back to the ART7. Thakker also sells some cartridges that are no longer available here.
