Anyone renting a Scace thermofilter?

Postby cruzmisl on Fri Oct 24, 2008 6:44 am

Hi,
I did a search and found that Espressoparts was starting a program where you could rent a Scace thermofilter set up to tune your machine then send it back. Anyone know if they, or anyone else, does it? I sent Terry an email but haven't heard back.

Thanks,
Joe

Where about are you in Ontario? I have a Scace 1 and might be willing to let you "rent" it....save yourself the shipping from US especially with our dollar right now. You can email me via my profile if interested

Cheers

Hey, i thought i remember seeing some thread about Scace thermometer rentals or borrowing.

Any idea if that exists? I'd like to know the true temp of what i'm pulling on my machine...and if i could rent a scace for $30 or so for a weekend, that would be great!

thanks

Good timing and it is true. We'll be renting a Scace 2 out starting very soon. I'd imagine we can get going next week but that is up to Terry. The box is ready and I am set to put a serial number into the Scace2 and on the box today or tomorrow. We'll start with one and if it is a popular program we'll get a second and third out there depending.

So the equipment for the first will be ready for a next week launch and as long as the red tape is in place we'll be good to go. Maybe Terry will chime in and confirm his thoughts, he is out of the office today on a secret mission or I would ask him myself.

Would that rental include a meter? As I said last time this topic came around ... count me in for a rental. :D

I imagine it would be complete with meter yes. I think that would be logical for us to provide in the kit.

I mean who has a Fluke just laying around? Some of us I suppose but not all of us do.

I have a couple, but they're '7x's. I'm having a bit of an issue with them and the thermocouple converter, a 'K' type reader, and IIRC, the Scace device comes with a 'T' type t-couple. Other than that, I'd be willing to post a Fluke 73 to someone, with the converter, if they can make it work with a 'T' type.

Man - this is great!!
Will you be renting one that fits an E61 grouphead? (I've got the Alexia)
If so, please let us know as soon as it is ready to rent.
How much is the rental & shipping?
Thanks!!
