[alt-photo] Re: Trying to locate Vacuum Pump

[Bob Barnes]

sorry for being late, but I think I should mention this... I've been  
using vacuum frames for @35 years. NuArcs, Douthitts, etc. Th one  
that I like the most was on a 16" x 20" vacuum frame, was an old  
Electrolux ..... It had unbelievable vacuum pressure.... and it was  
almost silent. Most industrial vacuum pumps are extremely loud, and  
obnoxious. This puppy was a dream... maybe it just wasn't designed  
for that permanent duty ..... But they are marvelous as a backup, and  
Electrolux now has many new products. I would appreciate any  
informative information on this.

Thank you all...
