I sold my business last year, but kept my great little Epilog Mini 18 35w. I now use it for hobby work and the occasional paying job. Wish I had the time to invest in a new business!
After nearly five years, the tube finally died. I contacted Epilog to get the scoop on a recharge/replacement.
I was quoted $1600, and similar deposit. I won't need the fast service so I can just mail the old one in, but the recharge price is a bit of a shock. In this economy, money is hard to come by, and I'm wishing for other options, although I already know there really isn't an alternative. There's a wide variety in tubes and prices, but apparently not for Epilog.
I wish there were some competition for recharging--competition is a great benefit of capitalism.
