VS self repair info, parts, and service charge

[Pete_G]

I posted this on s-b.com as well and I'm sure most will see it there, but in case anyone missed it:



This is the big news as parts and self-repair has always been controversial:


If someone needs a handle, main gear, flyer, or any other parts (including internals) they may contact Van Staal for purchase. Part pricing is not posted on the Van Staal web page, but anyone may call Dan Hill at 1-800-718-7335 to get parts and pricing information.

Van Staal does have schematics and will soon post them on their web site.

Again, repair away and don't bother sending reels in if you don't want to. It's your choice.


Lastly, I have checked and re-checked with Van Staal, the service charge is $36.95. The inaccurate info on the VS website has been changed to reflect that.

Since I'm sure there's still some doubt, this is what I'll do. Any owner of a SWE purchased Van Staal (including those purchased this upcoming holiday season), if the service charge changes before 2/1/07, will receive a $15 store credit. I can't predict the future so that's the date I'll go with. It won't matter though as the service charge is $36.95 until further notice.
