Earlier, I posted a link to a BF post by Ben Lizdas from Eagle Optics, who said that Swaro does make free repairs to used bins at their discretion (they only keep parts for 10 years, so if it's older than that and the part has been discontinued, they may not be able to repair the bin). What I was pointing out is that I don't see any mention in the warranty you posted a link to that the warranty is transferable. If this is their policy, it's unofficial. As written, the warranty implies that a previous owner who sells you a Swaro could be considered an "unauthorized dealer." I am surprised, however, that they let you re-register a bin that presumably was already registered under someone else's name. That's not just "Good Will," that's a transferable warranty. Perhaps Ron wasn't offered the same deal because his wife's EL was too old? Brock</blockquote>
