HNY too
I seems that a large number need to be returned to have the top chimney section pressed. Seems to spin loosely etc, and O-ring dropping out. Some bloke swore that it was made in China and rough - that I believe has been put to rest at least.
I think a lot of people are miffed (and rightly so) that they may need to ship to Switzerland for repairs to be made, and this is a cost that no one want to pay for on a $200 atty.
Anyway, the owners are now involved and seem to be doing what needs to be done to address the issues.
Mark Todd very tactfully suggested on the FB group that the owners need to address this issue immediately as it was getting out of control. It obviously did the trick as they finally got involved.
Its a shame really, as I love my cane V1.3 LE - but I think they may have missed the boat on this one - especially when the Hussar and Skyline entered the market late in the year.
