Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
I replaced the modulator on our Sprint 2000 years ago, pretty sure I sourced it elsewhere. Sorry M&R but your parts are way overpriced...I would be fine if they were 50% over other places but they are often 3x the price of other stores online. I still buy plenty from them but I compare first. That's unfortunate that they didn't communicate that sooner. Our issue was it would stick a bit and overshoot and overcorrect early after start up then settle and work okay, so it wasn't a rush replacement.

It could be the shortage of microcontrollers during the pandemic that is still being worked through. There's tales of companies purchasing appliances and toys that contained the chips they needed to completetheir own products. It could also be that a private equity firm is now in control of a once successful business and is able to sourcethe part at $10 less but they have to wait two months and piss off their client base. If another vendor actually has the part in stock...
Stuff like this is why you bought the equipment...because it will break, but getting it back up quickly is the name of the game. This can kill a company, especially at a time when there are some really good competitors out there.
Quote from: Admiral on January 09, 2024, 01:25:27 PMI replaced the modulator on our Sprint 2000 years ago...So that would mean the warranty had expired in 22 A.D...not bad!But seriously yeah, M&R off the shelf parts can be had sometimes at 5X cheaper, or even less, and quicker, and cheaper shipping.
Admiral, did you replace it yourself? I'm a little iffy on trying it as I'm not comfortable working with gas. (insert your comments now) I talked to two HVAC companies here in town and neither would touch it. I may have to give it a try though. Just need a six pack of beer and a pack of smokes and go to town
