Hi!

I find myself a proud new member of Pachination having purchased my first (of MANY, i fear) machine. The new addition to the family, Hanabi Hyakkei, arrived in beautiful condition and is a ton of fun. I've get my eye on a dozen more but "she who keeps the cash" says I must wait until after christmas

The only problem is most of the LED reel lights (http://www.pachitalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5925) don't work.. after a brief email exchange with the vendor I tried the resolder trick (http://www.pachitalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7734) which did bring back a few of the dead ones, but most remain in various states of "dead". Soo my questions are:

1) As many folks seem to have a problem with these, would it be unreasonable to expect the vendor to cover these under warranty (keeping in mind, it came this way)??

2) As the machine seems fully funcational without them, am I just being anal and shouldn't care that they don't work? Am I missing anything by them not working?

Thanks!!
Bill
