Barney, Please tell me who it is that told you this customer cannot get support. Certainly it is not the customer himself. We have been at this customer with top level engineers at the drop of a hat from day one. As for the C7 it is part of the new generation of placement machines from Contact Systems along with the C5. As other manufactureres have done during the downturn, we also decided that a lower cost machine would appeal to the entry or mid level CM or OEM. As for "packing it in", common sense would tell you that the extremely high cost of developing a new machine and the hundreds of thousands of dollars required to promote it would be ludicrous for a company without its sights set on the future. Check out the C5 preview on our website (www.contactsystems.com) or better yet come see us at Apex. We will have both the C5 and the C7 there.

Sincerely, Greg Pompea Vice President of Engineering Contact Systems

Barney,

We currently have 3 Contact Systems machines, (1) C3AV and (2) C3AVXs and I can't say enough good things about the machines or the support. It has always, always been there since we started dealing with them in 1991. The Service Dept personnel has been excellent - well informed, well trained and willing to do anything to get your problem fixed. Top level software and hardware Engineers have been available to help us as was necessary. Also we have never had any probems getting parts - they almost always are in stock or they expedite acquisition to keep you running - even going so far as taking parts from machines being built at the factory. I am glad that Contact Systems is coming out with the C5 as we will definetely consider it for replacement of our existing machines in the near future. Again I repeat Contact Systems has always been there for us and I am confident that they will continue to be there in the future.

Yaaa...wn...hh...hmmm... Sorry SMTNetfellows I just woke up from my nap. Maybe it's just me but I'm getting a little tired of people badmouthing Contact Systems - so Barney, Bobby, Ron or whatever your name is... quit it... I'm bored with this topic and I dare say that GregP is too. I'm going to climb down from my high horse now and go back to my nap... don't bother me again.

I have no connection whatsoever with Contact Systems.
