An Unusual Question -- Equipment Rental/Loans

I have an unusual question. Here's the deal.

My ARC Ref 5 will be shipped to the factory on Monday the 25th for the SE upgrade. I gather the Ref 5 will be tied up with ARC for at least two weeks. So, I'm minus a linestage which means I'm out of business for the duration.

The question is whether there's anyone out there who rents equipment for situations like mine. I would be looking to rent an ARC LS 27, a Ref 3 or a Ref 5. I live in the Philly area.

Thanks for the help.

Lostbears, you gave me an idea. I bought the Ref 5 off A'gon, but I bought my VS-115 and PH-8 from the same dealer. Maybe he'd do me a favor. If I don't ask, I know what the answer will be. Thanks.

Head to Best Buy for a unit that can be returned with no re stocking fees.

That is not cool, basically stealing. I know people take advantage of these policies but it is just plain wrong.

I bought a used integrated here on agon that I had been wanting to try out one time while my main unit was in the shop. Worked out great, had fun, and was able to sell it for what I had invested.

+1 on what Truemaineiac says, that's not cool. I also did what Truemaneiac did, and as I recall, that is how I first stumbled upon the VAC Avatar Super, which can play well above it's price range. I also wound up selling it later for no loss (outside of shipping costs).
