When the plug burned up I called to see if they offer reconditioning but they do not. Seems crazy they will not offer to make minor repairs to their units.

Last year I had the opportunity to buy a used TRC Voltage Regulator #10176 at a significantly reduced price ... great, until it arrived and I plugged it in only to discover as soon as I opened it up that it was fried. :M The transformer itself was fine but the main circuit board was badly melted so I contacted TRC asking for a price on a replacement. Guess what - no replacement, they wouldn't sell me one, saying my only recourse was to buy a new one. Yeah, right - ain't gonna happen, so I contacted the seller who graciously refunded my purchase price and apologized for the grief I went through. I also owned a TRC #34730 Surge Guard that worked fine but never again would I ever purchase any other TRC product knowing the company refuses to offer replacement parts for their products past the 1 yr warranty period.

TRC is made in Honduras. Pretty much disposable when something goes wrong.
I read their warranty. It excludes any and all events that may occur except maybe a surge or spike which may end it's usefulness.
TRC Warranty:
The Warranty does not protect against acts of God, such as direct
lightning strikes, flood, earthquake and war. It also does not protect
against vandalism, theft, normal use wear and tear, erosion, depletion, obsolescence, abuse, or damage due to low voltage disturbances for products without under voltage protection (i.e. brownouts, sags, or power outages), non authorized program or system equipment modification or alteration.
