Total rebuild of a ST6001 AP, and associated ST60 instruments but I sent it in at near the end of the 'sailing season' in Sept 09. FWIW - I did 'develop' a fairly good working telephone relationship with the Raymarine folks in NH prior to sending in for repair.
BTW - the lightning "up" strike was the mega-T'storm that hit Treasure Cay at the end of Apr 09. ... and you were anchored in Marsh Harbor at the time. I did buy some ST60 stuff to limp home back to the Ches, but had to hand steer all the way, etc.
