- I have had two E-Machines E-16's fail, both when on power up fizzed and
- sparked.
-
- I am now using a T-16 II which I don't think is their lastest model the
- T-16 II MPR model. I have nine months on its warrenty to go so if it fails
- like the E-16's I hopefully will get a replacement again.
-
- I am cofused about their model T-16 since in the last six months it has
- been out I have seen a few different photos in magazines of what one should
- look like. Mine has a bank of pitch controls on the front whereas a model a
- local store has them at the back.
