Buying Ambitions 300 what is fair price

Has anyone purchased the Ambition 300 Tubo Power series in the last 6 months and if so what is a fair price from Dist. and JK Corp. that you got for each unit. What feed back can you tell me on these units from clients to salon owners. The good bad and ugly. Got to know. Also has anyone used the JK Cap leasing company and what do you think about that lease program?
Thanks

Unless you are just really wanting the Ambition...Take a look at the Tan America Pacifica. We're in the process of getting a couple and these rock...36 lamps, 160 on top and 100 on bottom 3 facials. No buck booster needed. TA service A+++++. Ergo's are great equipment but there is stuff that is just as good with more service, and costs less. Hope this helps.

The Ambition is a far better bed then the TA beds. Better construction, better cooling, better facials, and better overall output.

They use Genesis lamps and they are only kinda good depending on who is makeing them. This bed uses magnetic ballasts which limit your lamp selection.

Where in your mix would this bed be?

What are the other beds you are running?

Ambition uses choke ballasts. F-71 lamps which is the widest selection.

TA uses Mag ballasts, two different lengths in one bed. F-72 and F-73, Dumb, and $h!tty cheap HP filterglass.

Ambition is a better bed.

Re: Buying Ambitions 300 what is fair price

the springs on the 200 need to be adjusted every couple of weeks. the acrylics are difficult to remove and are $300ea . the sheetmetal under the bed is sharp and is close to wiring that sometimes cuts wire and get meltdowns. the front cover needs to be removed to adjust the springs and its 30pounds. the mainboard goes bad with power surges. just my opinion. if looking for entry level at a better price check elsewhere. pm me if you want more info
