I have 2 VP5000 machines that are like the Maxim's. They were pritty good to use, but get heavy to lug around all the time. 14 years lugging it around took a toll on my shoulders. They are on the shelf now. I will sell them off on Ebay one of these days or strip them down for parts for something else.
The Eliminator is the one I think you would be refering to, and is just as heavy if not more 15 LB's. and from what I posted before would be for a replacment shop to use as a add on. Hands on is your best for doing repairs.
I use the Spectrum now and like it. One or two cycles to do a repair and it is done. It does use the dry vacum with the side chamber. I like that feature, and it works..
It just does not do vertical repairs. I use the LR injectors for vertical repairs and hate it. But that is all I found at this time to do vert. repairs. Still looking without dumping a lot of $$$$ for one use. |
Hey Don, which LR injector were you referring to? I have the resonator qt which I too like on vertical work, I.E. buses tractors, even the Scion/Element and other vertical applications. You also referred to the weight of the equipment, I can certainly agree with that. One thing I thought about too is that your doing one chip at a time with the unit, I mean like wow, I gotta do two minimum to get anywhere, if I only had one system I be out of business right now!! We have a dozen bridges of different kinds and at times we have them all going at the same time. With only two techs working them it gets hectic! I use delta gear on regular applications due to the ease of use factor (we have four of these) but I like the pre load/dry vac feature of the LR equipment too(four also). We live in a very wet climate, I'm talkin 40 days and 40 nights here, the dryout necessity element is a constant issue. We do have 3 months of fairly dry weather but you can't survive w/o a good dryvac/cover arrangement here.
I see your in Arizona, you could teach cooling techniques!!! We deal with drying and warming issues here!!
Now about Jeffrey, he was a good moderator. While maybe considered a little heavy handed with the delete/edit function of HIS job at delta, (he had other responsibilities also), I believe he did a pretty good job overall, I agree he was, well lets just say a little over protective..... Heh, JMO Ummm sry Brent you were responding while I was so....
