Well, thats not good news. I wish they marked them. I don't see how I have much choice but to go with it. Even if the parts are available I'd bet they cost a mint, and even if it sizes up I still have to buy it. Do you have any first hand experience with these units failing due to this?

I'm going to check into this a little, and I'll let you know what I learn.

Thanks for the input.
