I have been looking at 3 Sundash beds for sale. They are 32 bulbs, (lamps are new in them) for a VERY CHEAP price. I have always wanted Sundash but couldnt find used for what I was willing to pay. My question being...... I have ETS Sunvision 2003 models and these Sundash beds are 1995. 11 years old....Would you put in the Sundash and take out the Sunvision. Am I looking at alot of problems with beds this old? Im in my busy season and honestly dont need the extra stress of problems. PLEASE HELP! Any opinions are greatly appreciated!

My personal experience with Sundash is that they are workhorses and if properly maintained will run forever. If this is the case, go for it.

Are these the R32 models? Do they have the customer controls on a rail on the front side of the bench at the head end?

I would be VERY comfortable picking up older Sundash equipment! They run forever, and if and when something DOES go bad, it is generally a fairly inexpensive and easy part to replace! You can even order replacement stickers if any of those are yellowed/worn!

I have many friends and clients who have them well over 11 years and they are still running (and TANNING!) like champs.

I'd go for it!

I recommend these beds in general. My only concern is how long the mfr. intends to keep making model specific and compatable parts for them. There are only two parts on this unit that I can think of that are different from the newer Sun Dashes they just quit making.

we have 5 r32's 1997-98 models and everyone is right these are WORKHORSES.... how cheap are you getting them for?
