Funny you should ask...
After lot's of research, anxious months of lusting, then buying on ebay and waiting like a dog for it to arrive, I got mine yesterday. The seller screwed me royal, it's not new as stated, and it's defective - noisy as hell, gotta be beyond what the first issues experienced and got fixed. So I ask you guys, is there a cheap fix from YAMAHA available? I went to www.usa.yamaha.com to no avail, how can I contact them? I'll feed this one to the pitbull upstairs and probably get another soon if I can't resolve this, but beyond disappointed I'm a bit pissed.
