Hi Ed,

I once got a 8600 with the devar broken in shippment due to inadequate
packaging. It is now working fine in a friends time-lab.

Btw, look here for an example of Greg Dowd from Symmetricom helping out
right here on time-nuts...

My point is: as hobbyist one cannot ofcause demand or expect support
without paying the commercial fee. However, beeing lucky to have the right
person read your email, you might get a good deal. Good luck! YMMV
