stephen t Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I've been trying for days to contact both Ross Products and each of the Wing-Lynch dealers that are listed on their website, and all I get are answering machines, and no one has returned a call. I've been considering purchasing a Wing-Lynch processor, but am becoming a little apprehensive. If no one exists out there anymore for parts or repairs, who'd want one? Have none of those people heard about call forwarding, or cell phones? What's going on? Anybody got any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discpad Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I have a W-L 4E in my basement, and it's a Rube Goldberg contraption. I also have a pair of Jobo ATL-3 processors, and they are OK. If you're in the Delaware Valley and want it, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel_fortier Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 No one is returning your calls not because they are not interested or rude, but just because the industry is de facto shutting down as a whole. Imagine the response you will get in a year if you do buy it! See my previous posts on wing-lynch & non only mechanical or easily repairable processing equipment. Films processing equipments look like great deals these days... regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dk_thompson Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 hmm..well, they were still in business last year--we ordered some trough dams and other odds & ends for our machine from them around the end of the summer. The WL machines are pretty user friendly, have little to go wrong on them as far as moving parts go. our machine is probably 20 yrs old and although it has been rebuilt, that was a good ten years ago. The only things we have to routinely replace are the trough dams and the seals for the tanks. I'm not overly worried if the company disappears, because there are plenty of parts machines available for one thing, and gthe processors afren't exactly over-engineered either. Most of the spare parts can be gotten locally from other sources....unlike some other processors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
