If you don't have the techs to manage your 70's then it is great. Brand new electrical system and motors.

I just did some service work behind those installers. Hide the grease gun. They absolutely packed the table drives. I could choke them.

If you had twin solenoids they throw on a single solenoid conversion and it is a terrible design. I could have done better ins my sleep.

They put grease on those too, wipe it off!

Great upgrade though.

Re: 82-70XL

thanks for the reply we have 2 techs which is more than enough for us but we had been looking into some options to get our machines to run a little more trouble free.

Mechanic 82/30 has had the upgrade for a few years. He swears by it.

We decided that PBL’s are more important than the upgrade. Our machines are very sound electrically & it’s much less of a hit to the bottom line to replace motors as they die rather than replace them all at once. I wouldn’t mind having those new BE motors tho.
