(Priority Shipping/Insurance: $45.50 maximum amount within the U.S.) Our Vacuum Pump Systems are far superior to the system sold by QRS and others for three main reasons. One, we use a two-stage electronic speed controller. This gives the user control over the volume of the music and the speed of rewind. Other systems have a single-stage controller. So, the rolls rewind exceedingly fast, which can cause damage to older rolls in a hurry. Secondly, our system is much more quiet. We have spent years developing the box and internal motor mounts. And, unlike our competitors, we use a dual-stage impeller. This creates more vacuum at a lower motor speed, decreasing the noise factor. Thirdly, our system is unconditionally guaranteed for one full year for the electronics and five years for the pump motor. Others offer a 30-90 day guarantee, period! Our system is almost twice as expensive as the other systems and worth every penny!!! (The average life span of our vacuum pump motor is 20 years. Our competitors systems haven't even been in existence for ten years. How long will they last? No one knows. Why take a chance?) Phenoseal - Plastic Sealer For sealing wood - or just about anything. Dries clear and seals the smallest cracks or pin-hole leaks 100% with just one application. Can be brushed or poured and drained. It is strongly recommended that any internal surfaces which face vacuum channels in a player action be coated with this product. Phenoseal is slightly plastic and will stretch and contract with changes in temperature and humidity without cracking or pulling away, such as the original shellac or varnish sealers. Phenoseal will stick to the original sealers, so removing them is not necessary. Phenoseal remains slightly tacky, so DO NOT coat a surface that a valve will seat on. (Read my recent article in the Mechanical Music Digest -click here.) Sold in 8 oz. plastic bottles for $17.00, or One Quart plastic bottles for $48.00. (minimum shipping/handling: $6.80) Orders of less than $15.00 are subject to a $2.50 Surcharge. To place an order, Click Here. High Quality Leather Nuts for all types of uses.
