Sawdust inside carrying case of new PC 557?

Stuttering too...

even a "reconditioned" tool wouldn't have sawdust all over it. It should be like new, but it has been returned to the factory for inspection and/or repair and then sent back into the retail market with a "reconditioned" designation.

same thing used to happen with stores that sold typewriters. folks would buy typewriters for resumes and term papers and then return them to the store with some excuse about not liking it and then getting a full refund as soon as their "one of" project was complete. I heard about that from a local electronics store employee.

it shouldn't be that tough.

be glad your return isn't being handled by Amazon. I'm into an hour, plus, of my time trying to get a return label for an item that arrived broken. called amazon and whoopee, the item is no longer available. customer service gal tells me I should get an email with a label I can print for UPS to pick up the package for return shipment. No email. make another call to amazon and this time the guy says he'll send one by snail mail, after Christmas. So now I get to search the local stores for a duplicate item and pay about $15 more, to boot! Thank you, Amazon for not packing the item properly!

rant off!

Dave, On a side note, do you remember the yellow sheet of paper that came with the 733? It stated that sawdust was normal,a s they factory test them before shipment.

I can only imagine how many came back before they started sticking that yellow paper in there.
