The Ramsey Kit Warranty 

 

Please read carefully BEFORE calling or writing in about your kit. Most problems can be 
solved without contacting the factory.

 

 
Notice that this is not a "fine print" warranty. We want you to understand your rights and ours too! All Ramsey 
kits will work if assembled properly. The very fact that your kit includes this new manual is your assurance that 
a team of knowledgeable people have field-tested several "copies" of this kit straight from the Ramsey 
Inventory. If you need help, please read through your manual carefully, all information required to properly 
build and test your kit is contained within the pages!   
 

1. DEFECTIVE PARTS:

 It's always easy to blame a part for a problem in your kit, Before you conclude that a 

part may be bad, thoroughly check your work. Today's semiconductors and passive components have 
reached incredibly high reliability levels, and it’s sad to say that our human construction skills have not! But on 
rare occasions a sour component can slip through. All our kit parts carry the Ramsey Electronics Warranty 
that they are free from  defects for a full ninety (90) days from the date of purchase. Defective parts will be 
replaced promptly at our expense. If you suspect any part to be defective, please mail it to our factory for 
testing and replacement. Please  send only the defective part(s), not the entire kit. The part(s) MUST be 
returned to us in suitable condition for testing. Please be aware that testing can usually determine if the part 
was truly defective or damaged by assembly or usage. Don't be afraid of telling us that you 'blew-it', we're all 
human and in most cases, replacement parts are very reasonably priced.   
 

2. MISSING PARTS:

 Before assuming a part value is incorrect, check the parts listing carefully to see if it is a 

critical value such as a specific coil or IC, or whether a RANGE of values is suitable (such as "100 to 500 uF"). 
Often times, common sense will solve a mysterious missing part problem. If you're missing five 10K ohm 
resistors and received five extra 1K resistors, you can pretty much be assured that the '1K ohm' resistors are 
actually the 'missing' 10 K parts ("Hum-m-m, I guess the 'red' band really does look orange!")  Ramsey 
Electronics project kits are packed with pride in the USA. If you believe we packed an incorrect part or omitted 
a part clearly indicated in your assembly manual as supplied with the basic kit by Ramsey, please write or call 
us with information on the part you need and proof of kit purchase 
 

3. FACTORY REPAIR OF ASSEMBLED KITS:

  

To qualify for Ramsey Electronics factory repair, kits MUST:     
1. NOT be assembled with acid core solder or flux. 
2. NOT be modified in any manner. 
3. BE returned in fully-assembled form, not partially assembled. 
4. BE accompanied by the proper repair fee. No repair will be undertaken until we have received the 

MINIMUM repair fee (1/2 hour labor) of $18.00, or authorization to charge it to your credit card 
account. 

5. INCLUDE a description of the problem and legible return address. DO NOT send a separate letter; include 

all correspondence with the unit. Please do not include your own hardware such as  non-Ramsey 
cabinets, knobs, cables, external battery packs and the like. Ramsey Electronics, Inc., reserves the 
right to refuse repair on ANY item in which we find excessive problems or damage due to 
construction  methods. To assist customers in such situations, Ramsey Electronics, Inc., reserves 
the right to solve their needs on a case-by-case basis. 

 
The repair is $36.00 per hour, regardless of the cost of the kit. Please understand that our technicians are not 
volunteers and that set-up, testing, diagnosis, repair and repacking and paperwork can take nearly an hour of 
paid employee time on even a simple kit. Of course, if we find that a part was defective in manufacture, there 
will be no charge to repair your kit (But please realize that our technicians know the difference between a 
defective part and parts burned out or damaged through improper use or assembly). 
 

4. REFUNDS:

 You are given ten (10) days to examine our products. If you are not satisfied, you may return 

your unassembled kit with all the parts and instructions and proof of purchase to the factory for a full refund. 
The return package should be packed securely. Insurance is recommended. Please do not cause needless 
delays, read all information carefully.
