Ok. Got that. But they sure are advertised as an individual company. I did not know Jeff Saxton was CEO of JK.

Soltron=Junky american made equipment riding on German reputation.

Jeff Saxton has nothing to do with Soltron. He used to be a ditsy for Soltron, but now sells KBL in Wisconsin, among other states.

pfft -- have you owned any soltron beds?

megatanman · 02-18-2008, 04:34 PM

Never have and never will,My friend has them in his salon.Said it was the biggest mistake he made.High maintennce and they tan like crap.Equivalent to ETS IMO and they are another crappy american manufacturer.

The european market is much better in quality and longevity.Sportarredo,Dr.Mueller or even Enco. are better choices.

This thread reads like an Abbott and Costello routine - "Who's on First?"

Again - Soltron is part of the Ergoline family (in fact, the Soltron brand has been around longer than Ergoline!). Made in Germany traditionally, although I supposed it is possible that the Jonesboro facility may now be used for some assembly for Soltron or Ergoline.

They are nice beds. Anyone can take good equipment and make it bad, with infrequent lamp changes, poor maintenance, etc. But out of the chute - they are nice and most salon owners that have them have liked them, other than the handful of salons that experienced significant acrylic issues with one particular series of acrylics. That seems to have been fixed, from what I have heard.
