In need of a tanning bed price - tanTALK

Tonyab73 · 01-28-2013, 01:32 PM

I'm thinking about purchasing a 1995 sunquest zx41 tanning bed and I'm not sure if the price of the bed is a good deal or not. The owners asking $800 and its in pretty good shape. No major issues that I'm aware of. I need help!!

I would not give $50 for it. Cant get parts for them anymore.

Tonyab73 · 01-29-2013, 11:27 AM

I will hav to reconsider then. Thank u for the reply!!

You can find a lot of nice beds for $800. Maybe older, but with parts available.

The zx41 was one of the worst tanks that ETS ever built

Plastic ets bed, stay away unless you can buy another for spare parts, equipment was hard to find parts for after just one year, lotions good, bed, ug. Metal beds last, new or old they may cost a few dollars more but they last and you can get parts so they depreciate slower. age doesn't matter if it was taken care of. bulbs, you never truly know until you lay in them no matter what people say. plastic beds can't handle some hot bulbs either. Good luck. There is a reason after 20 years running a 40 bed salon I kept buying only metal beds. Yep I have some for sale $500-$6n0 Kentucky 859-608-0976, u can get parts on line if needed and maybe at local electric supply.

But on another note, does it run? is the asking price what you need to spend for a home bed? is it from someone you can trust? soo what I am saying it is what it is, maybe go for it.

You are joking, right?

ETS has some good equipment...Plastic? I am typing on a MAC Pro, it has plastic...The space shuttle has plastic. I pilot a Cessna 172...has plastic...What's your point?

The majority of euro beds are plastic. Why would you want metal?

Heavy..hot...

No, tanning beds have fans and vents in them such too, acrylics made of one type plastic, sides etc different type of plastic, heck some you have to replace the plastic piece holding in the acrylic every time you change bulbs or work on them. UV does effect plastic parts, look at even lamp holders that aren't ceramic. This is a little technical for a home unit. I have had people calling wanting parts or help. I usually send them to ets or Heartland Tanning, they keep a lot of parts. I'd still buy if price good and take a chance on a home/small business unit.
