Upgrade for Day Sequerra FM Reference Tuner

Update: I spoke with Linda Reed (856-261-8961), who tells me that Day Sequerra is about to finish a move back to NJ and expects to be making the upgrades available again in the next few weeks. I'll be getting an e-mail from her soon with details on where to return my unit and what's involved in the upgrade, I'll report more when I get that.

Here is what's involved in the upgrade--ballpark figure given me was about $1,000. Need to get a return authorization number from Linda and send it after August 1 to Medford, NJ--ask Linda Reed for the details.

RcPrince, thanks for your help, I will contact them next week.

They want a thousand bucks for THAT? You have got to be kidding me. Gee, a few ceramic filters and an alignment, plus a change in the grounding path. Unless they're putting all new circuit board in it, that has to be the biggest upgrade ripoff I've heard about in a loooong time. The least they could do is sprinkle some extra pixie dust in there.

Does anyone know how to get in touch with david day,I talked to Dick Sequerra and he said he has nothing to do with day-sequerra tuners,you would have to get in touch with david day for service.If you have a phone # please let me know.

Thanks
