Eliminator
Mrgl,
I don't know if this will help your decision but it is just something to think about. Computerized equipment looks real impressive to the unknowing customer but in my opinion that is where it stops. Computerized units can only be set for vacuum and pressure cycles. Due to this I feel they are not capable of handling many variables that we face and have to overcome. These variables it will take technician interaction to manipulate the break for proper filling. To the best of my knowledge these units are not capable of knowing when, why, or how to overcome these encountered variables. Since most if not all breaks will require technician interaction, you could get the same great results from a more simplified user friendly system and for a lower price. These were just my thoughts for what they are worth. It does not mean that GT's unit is not good or what is best for you. I hope this helps. Pay it foward, Brian www.safeglasstechnologies.com info@safeglasstechnologies.com</p> |

Re: Eliminator
What Brian said is true. The eliminator is capable of doing excellent repairs very efficiently, however there is more to windshield repair than just pushing a switch. As good as the machine is, it cannot tell when all the air has been evacuated, nor can it see when all the legs of a break are filled to the tips... this requires the experienced eyes of a trained technician.
Glass Technology has good equipment which they back up with good technical support. I have two of their repair systems, and am very pleased with them both. One is the VP-5000 (the non-computerized version of the eliminator); the other is the 20-20 system. I would recommend either of these systems. </p> |

Re: re: eliminator
I have used the Delta kits bridge for many thousands of chips. with the cost difference between the 2 I see no reason that anyone would want to buy the Eliminator. I use 7 bridges at a time when I am doing fleets and can do about 15-18 chips in an hour very efficiently. With the electronic machines the time is extended double or tripple that of a manual machine due to set up times and having to have power and all that. I wouldn't use anything but a manual machine.
