Hey there, all you fellow 532-monsters...
Anyone still searching for the 'ideal' replacement for the old 'OEM' Oven Industries 5C5-262 KTP-oven controller, I have negotiated a 'deal' for us-all -
(...and no - the 'elsewhere-recommended' SR7-350A is *not* the ideal-replacement for the OEM-unit... the OEM-unit is!
These 'new' units will be known-as the C55-270, and will be 'functionally' and form-factor wise, identical, to the time-tested OI unit, ie:
Attachment 28469 ..as-found in 100-500-series Laserscopes, which was later functionally-cloned by the 700-800-series 'motherboard', thus, eliminating its' need to LS, and making the 262 an 'end-of-life' product for OI... which was too-bad, cause, as many of you 'converters' know, trying to wrangle the 'MB' into anything useful - worst of all, just for the oven-heater - is a
major PITA, at-best...
However, if I can pull-together an order for 10-units
(..we will be needing 5, alone...) we can get these 'resurrected' for
only $97. USD each (+ actual flat-rate shipping to wherever you are..) - this is much better than the $200-250.+ that many of us paid in years-past, if/when we could even
find them...
Please note that this pricing is for the controller *only* (just the 'little gold-box'), However, we (DSLI) can offer a 'full-version' of the controller-assy,
w/ the 24V step-down x-frmr, V and Ω test-points, LED 'temp-range indicator' and oven-interface bus, all integrated in a nice, compact package, easily mountable on existing PEMs, inside the LS 7-800 chassis, ie:
Attachment 28470Attachment 28471..
Price: Quoted upon-request
(depends on how-many / how-fast, etc..)
IF, ya'll KTP-peeps wanna do-this, we wanna do this
ASAP, cause OI gets busy with projects, and, at other-times, may not be able to offer a 'reasonable lead-time', as they can, right now / the next-few weeks... just 'fyi'...
So... who's in?
