I called Synrad on a series 48 laser off a summit Epilog. Synrad tech said parts to repair have not been available for 10 years. When people say they got there Synrad laser recharged at say Photovac in Oregon does my situation fall into that catagory? Does the Synrad laser have to be more current or can they work on all models regardless of age? I also heard some company is sending RF lasers to China to be repaired. I would like to know what anyone thinks about this situation and how to resolve it. Am I better off just purchasing a replacement anyway?
