document.write('          <br /> The RCA that we all have known for decades has finally been killed in everything but name. <img border=\"0\" src=\"http://www.costofservice.net/images/nipper_rip2.jpg\" width=\"125\" height=\"85\" align=\"right\"></a> For the second time in two years The Grump is being forced to comment on that mutt called RCA.<br /> <br /> The first time was to warn the public and authorized service companies (ASC) that RCA/TTE wasn\'t paying their warranty bills. Now it seems that they cannot afford quality professional service and are going to be sending out the goof squad to fix your TV.  Worse, the professional technicians who have been servicing RCA products FOR DECADES under warranty are going to take a pay cut AND BE CHARGED for the honor of  working for less money than a teenage grocery bagger.  <br /><br /> You read it right. The service companies are going to be charged to come to your home to fix your RCA TV for less money and they have to pay for it. <br /><br /> Normally this Grump doesn\'t comment much on tier 3 brands. But we have been deluged with comments from outraged service companies. Watch this spot - there will be copies of the correspondances between this new disaster in the making and their screwed-in-the-ground warranty service companies. <br /><br /> <b> Before you buy an RCA....talk to your local service company. If you can\'t find one that services RCA under warranty, well you might consider a different brand. </b>   <br /><br /> <br /><br /> RCA, Nipper, His Master\'s Voice are trademarks of one or all or some of these companies: RCA, which was owned by Thomson and sold to TTE a division of TTL who has contracted with DEX who then subcontracted to.......we lost track. <br /><br /> Holy zāogāo                ');
