You likely will not get 10 years of service out of the Heller and it is certainly not as well built as the VIP-98. If those things do not matter to you and it's all about the money then you sound like the perfect Heller customer.

See now? all this talk here could easily be avoided by using vitronics!! hahahahahaha personally I think Heller and BTU both leave much to be desired. No, I do not work for vitronics OR fastek! hehe

Really . . . 40,000 Euro for a new Heller 7 zone oven? Sounds too good to be true. Anyway, if thats the case I would not invest 20K to reapir a 10 year old oven.

I''m sure I remember BTU telling me that the VIP series got the same contollers as the ancient TRS14's. Someone may want to verify this - but if correct you can pick up a TRS for beer money & rob the controller. A new 7 zone BTU Pyramax can be ha

Shipping might be an issue for you but I have a VIP70A in storage that is roughly the same vintage but in really good shape for $5000. We pulled it from service last year to bring in a more Pb-Free capable oven. We are still running a sister oven on

:o You wouldnt happen to have shares at BTU, Fastek? What you are replying is just what Kris was talking about. I wouldnt take it either. Customer service should be very important for any company. Imagine a broken oven, company coming to a stand

Hello, I have an oven with a big fail. The Control Unit. It is a 5 zones oven (BTU VIP70)and has more than 10 years, and I think that now is not interesting to repair. I think to buy an offer, an oven Heller of 7 zones + cool,(better for lead free).

Kris- You obviously need to become more self-sufficient if you are struggling to keep your reflow oven up and running. Reflow ovens are too simple to repair to get freaked out over them. It's not always the vendor's fault when the customer doesn

It really depends on what deliverables BTU can offer and successfully accomplish without the complexity of various reinvention activities. The basis of its� vehicle stability as a total platform should be broken into a framework of goals and objecti
