Wadia confirm a rumour

otis: it is my understanding that the current owners of wadia (who had been the prior owners' first-position secured creditors) purchased only the assets of the foregoing company, which, of course, excluded the liability characterized as "warranty obligations." this is standard and prudent practice in "turnarounds" and purchases of "distressed going concerns." (it is also legally permissible under the magnusson-moss warranty act and cases interpreting that act and the common law of express and implied warranties.) those customers whose warranties were thus rendered void are fortunate to have at their rescue companies like great northern sound. -cfb

As mentioned in the above post....for anything out of warranty, you're much better off sending your gear to Steve Huntley at GNS (www.greatnorthernsound.com). The guy is no-nonsense and does a great job.

Steve repaired a Wadia 3200 for me and did a wonderful job, your better off just paying him because he wants to do a good job. It worked for me and it will work for you.
