Excuse me, I would like to know if there are still supplies, such as needles, available for this machine as I understand it's kind of old. I humbly hope there is someone in here with experience about it as I've been searching and I can't find much information.

I've seen another post in here that read this machine can perform blend with the right settings. Is there a way to know which settings make blend mode? Or is it a trial-and-error way to find out?

Thank you very much in advance.

Mamacita.

all items for this machine are still readily available. The Fischer company is still making new models, and stand behind this model. In fact, any electrolysis repair person could fix anything on this.

As for Galvanic, Blend, and thermolysis only modes on the machine, if you understand how to work the machine, you know how to do that. This is where all that reading no one wants to do comes in.

Thank you very much for your reply. Could you please point me to that reading nobody wants to do? I would really like to read it.

I am very new to this but want to learn correctly.

Can anyone direct me to good sources to find a relatively inexpensive, used copy of Real World Electrology: The Blend Method by Bono?

Next, if you were to purchase this machine, what other attachments would you need to purchase other than probes? It looks like there maybe a couple of things missing. Any idea of the approx. cost?
I am willing to purchase the book if I can find a machine I can afford.
I have been using the one touch with success,but it no long works.

Any help is appreciated.

The S2 will also do flash thermolysis where the time is set very low and the frequency of thermolysis is set very high. If you read up some you will learn the details.

The machine looks pretty complete. Not missing anything. You will also need some of the basics like something to sterilize the area etc along with the probes. A magnifier or binocular loupes help. Definately get a book! Type electrolysis book in search on ebay and you will see 3 used books available as of today.

Good luck finding Bono's book. My dear eccentric friend has allowed the book to go out of print, and does not intend on re-releasing it any time soon. If one does come out, he has promised that it will be a severely abbreviated text.

The best book available brand new is now Cosmetic and Medical Electrolysi by G. Elizabeth Meharg and Dr. Richards

I won this machine! yaaaaaaaaay
Thank you Hairtell for letting me know of all that Junk in ebay to make an informed decision and thank you James for your kind and professional advice!

You are welcome. Keep us posted on your progress. Remember, we advise that you get a hair removal partner and you both read the books and work on each other. You still need to get at least a magnifying lamp and proper electrolysis forceps, and some ballet gold size 3 probes would be nice. You will want to try out the different forceps/tweezers to see which you are most comfortable with. I like the H style with diamond dust tips myself, but some swear by the OC3 style

I suggest getting those from Texas Electrolysis Supply 1-800 626-6025. For savings, you might want to buy some expired or near expired probes if they still have any left.

Electrolysis probes are sterilized inside the package, or sterilized just prior to being packaged. The expiration date is for the airtight seal of the package. As long as the probes have not been stored in a bathroom or some other place where really bad germs are airbourn, the potential loss of this seal is not the worst thing that could happen. The probe is still untouched. In any case, it is better than using a one touch tip soaked in alcohol overnight.
