Rhodes Chroma Service Policy Guide
via Chris on the Rhodes Chroma list: "New on the site this month is Fender's Service Policy Guide for the Chroma. Thanks to Steve Grom of Fender for this information."
Here's an excerpt:
"1.1 Warranty Period
Rhodes Chroma synthesizers are warranted to the original purchaser only against defects in materials or workmanship for one full year from date of purchase.
1.2 Limitations
The warranty becomes void if the serial number is defaced or removed, or the product has been damaged by alteration, misuse, accident or neglect. Any warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS implied by law is limited to the duration of this express limited warranty. Some states do not allow limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to State."
Be sure to check the full policy here and then check out the rest of the Rhodes Chroma site. It is probably the best site dedicated to an individual synth out there with "over 250 pages of historical and technical information compiled, written and edited by Chris Ryan." The Chroma Polaris is covered as well.
