Magnets

[dmorrow]

Roger are they still on schedule to be avail in Aug? Do you think that there will be a waiting list or should we have no problem in getting them? I want to wait until I can get the magnets to set up my 6000 streams but I can not wait to long past the second week of Aug.

There is already a long waiting list. At last count I think more than 60 are sold. They will start to come in in a couple weeks but I expect it will be slow to start and may take a couple months to fill existing orders. It isn't the easiest product to make and until an employee really gets it down and has some practice it will be slow producing them.

On the bright side we pretty much have the Stream and controller supply up to date with few backorders.

Roger could you show a pic of the magnets.

The slots in the center are where you mount the bracket for a Stream or Turbelle powerhead or probe/heater holder. The notches are for any comline component.

 

[RGibson]

Thank you

Drool. I already have 3 ordered. Will it be easy to move these around? Will they slide, or should the plates be taken apart to move?

BTW, got hooked up the 6200's yesterday - same response as when I went from 6000 to 6100 ... "Whooooa Nelllllllie"

 

[rvitko]

They will have rubber feet that and combined with the high powered magnet I wouldn't slide them.

 

[jolly_ranch]

Where can you order them. Marine Depot. I can't seem to find them anywhere. I have two 6100 and in need of two

 

[rvitko]

All the dealers will take orders, you will have to call though.

 

[RGibson]

Roger the dealers tell me that it will be oct before thay get the magnets is your time frame different?

 

[rvitko]

Slightly. I have received two lrg and 4 sml to date. Until an electromagnet table can be built construction is painstakingly slow. Once the tooling for construction is finished and summer break ends- August is a holiday in Germany and just about every factory closes, Tunze operates on 2/3rds crew July through September- production should be increased and we should start filling orders rapidly.

 

[Leishman]

Are the sterams rotatable (is that a word?) when they are in these brackets?

 

[RGibson]

Thank you

 

[rvitko]

Nothing changes over the old brackets in terms of positioning.

 

[Leishman]

I don't have any brackets yet. Do they rotate in the old brackets?

Not rotate, but can you angle the unit to a degree, or are they at 90 degrees to the glass?

 

[rvitko]

They rotate about 30 degrees each way.

 

[Leishman]

thx

 

[rvitko]

OK, production is stabile now at 200 units per week. I was told the problem is there are nearly 1000 units on backorder around the world and new orders come everyday. I was told tomorrow he will check my delivery status and they should come soon.

Great Idea. Will it work with my 6000 STreamers? I was thinking about the hidden rock but they are pricey. What is the approx cost of the magnets?
