I would think you could contact Novastar as they are still around. We used to have an APS P&P machine(which is part of Novastar)and now have a Novastar reflow oven. Thay have always been good to work with for tech support/parts. Their website is here

Any one have anything to say about experiences with Novastar technologies? We are considering their reflow and wave machines. I am particulary wrried about support, they are a very small company.

WE have had one for many years, it has been very reliable, They are not the cadillac of wave machines, but suitable. Parts from novastar are pricy, but again we have not had many problems.

Right, brilliant thread! I concur the Novastar preheater is junk and the pot drosses much more than our Electroverts. Save your dough and buy a used machine first.

Novastar is JUNK, that is why you cannot get repeatable results. Check the conveyor rails, you will find they are warped. Novastar uses cheap, non-machined rails. Straight from china or india. Their stuff is garbage. Best to swallow the loss and star

Already spoke with Novastar, and they only offer replacement parts for the preheating elements and fingers for this model, which was discontinued in 1997. Thanks though for your reply.
