Both of those guys are finally taking it easy (or is that easier) and doing very little if any electrolysis. They call it "Semi-Retirement."

I think this means, "If you can find them, and the right amount of money is on the table, and an all expense paid trip is in the deal, you may get them to work for you"

Personally, I take those deals when the math adds up, and the timing is right. I can see why they would come out of retirement for some of these offers.

i found this machine on ebay:

can anyone give me some informaton on it? if its good or not? im looking for a blend electrolysis machine for home use.

This information cannot be viewed. Can you try to copy and paste this again?

http://cgi.ebay.com/electrolysis-machine_W0QQitemZ170264916782 seems to work.

It is a legitimate machine, it is made by Uni-Probe, and T.E.S. and others sell them in their catalogs.

The price isn't the greatest bargain I have seen, might want to shop around a bit more, but at least it only has 20 hours on it and it is a legit machine.

Here is an older Fischer blend machine for $300. About 25 years old, but it looks like it is in great shape. It looks like it is built like a tank!

can anyone give me some information on it? thankyouu

Not much to say, it is a blend machine that works with a foot pedal as the timing. You set the treatment energy on the knobs, and tap the pedals for the duration of the treatment. I like double pedal machines for blend, as you can control the thermolysis side separate from the galvanic side, but this would work, all the same.

For a home user, this would be just fine. For a professional business, it is a little dated.

A Proteus EP-2000 for $650, comes with needles and all the accessories.

Or, buy the exact same machine... for a buck! No accessories, just the machine, but TES 1-800-626-6025 carries all the accessories for it.

A footpedal would be about $20, and sending it in for a full service refurbishing would cost between $70 & $150.

IF one can handle doing old style thermolysis, this would be an inexpensive machine to get. It is NOT a good machine for someone who has zero experience though, as it doesn't do galvanic.

For a little more money, however, Texas Electrolysis Supply (TES) would add galvanic to the machine, giving you a blend machine, and you would still not have paid what that other seller is asking for this same machine.

A great machine, an Instantron Elite Spectrum, probably going to go for a fraction of what it is worth. If I were in the market for a DIY machine, I would be all over this one!

Don't know if it comes with air or not. Is air that important nowadays? Always wondered about that.
