Hi Brian, I have no Idea how much water the 5200 takes? My guess is about 5 gallon?

Thanks for the feedback John.I ordered the 5200 chiller and the water quality here is great but for the minimal cost I will run distilled water.
No sign of damage in shipping, than goodness.
I will...

Hi Jimmy, Initial build quality is about what I expected. I do not know about your shipping times and customs. Customs are not fast here but unlike my experience in Latin America they are not...

Thanks Brian, I appreciate your support through the process. I am actually hopping for a rainy weekend so I don't feel guilty about living in the shop the whole time.

I mentioned it above timelines between arrival and contact seem a bit sketchy.
I almost went to pick up the the crate myself. That would have been a mistake. This is MUCH bigger in person. lol

Hi Lyle, I forgot to add that choosing tube size was hard for me. I generally believe that bigger is better but that is not the case if you want to engrave. I decided on a 80w tube but a 130w power...

That is good news about the DVD, I have been wondering about instructions and nervous about translations.

Wow that is not what I wanted to hear. I just need it to get to Vancouver and I will pick it up there. Keep us posted on arrival.

Well it took a while to work out the details but it is all done but the waiting. I will have to take my trailer on the ferry to Vancouver to pic it up but that is not for a few months. My next job...

Wow, very exciting, looks great. Thanks for sharing. I hope to get my order for the 1390 placed this week.
