Question Re: Have beds really changed in past 10 years?

I already have tickets for Las Vegas and look forward to learning a lot more about the industry. To answer SunSally the level 1 and 2 beds probably do need to be upgraded. They represent about 80% of all tans at the location I bought. I have 7 Sundash 32 lamp beds, the 3 with facial were considered level 2 buy the previous owner. When I bought the business. We re-lamped some and had work done on a couple noisy parts. The bodies(?) are in great shape as the previous owner was a nut for upkeep. 3 different people in the industry have remarked what great shape all the bed are in and even told me all the previous lamps were fine, but i wanted to start fresh.
SunSally you seem to have a lot of experience across the industry. What is your view of the state of the industry and the trend over the past 5 years. What percent of owners just hanging on? How much fallout/closings will there be in the slow season this year?
