Re: Defective Victor SP's

Thanks,

Henry, thanks for also emailing us, you will get a quicker response than just posting on ChiefDelphi. (We keep an eye on here for people who need assistance, but it's obviously harder to track)

Ken,
Please contact one of the several support lines for any issues you have, (my email is in my signature) and we'll get you taken care of.

-Aren
