[Histonet] microtome woes

[Underwood, Fred via Histonet]

Greetings to all,

I have a microtome, purchased in 2013, that now needs both circuit boards 
replaced.  For the low, low price of $6400.  This seems like it may not be far 
off from the price of a new unit.  Would some of you be willing to share what 
brand of microtome you have, and what you paid?  I am hesitant to share on a 
public forum what my unit is, but privately


Thanks for your input,
Fred

Greetings Histonetters,

Would someone be so kind as to provide me the dimensions of the cassette and 
base mold compartments for the Thermo Histostar embedding center?

Thank you,

Thank you everyone for the fantastic feedback!  I’m considering one of these 
due ligament issues with my thumbs.  I suspect 30+ years of scraping blocks may 
be a contributing factor.

Thanks again,
Fred

Fred I recently found it necessary to purchase a paraffin block trimmer and was 
surprised to find that the ThermoShandon has been discontinued.  We purchased 
the Newcomer andthe  techs rarely touch the old Shandon Paratrimmers.  The unit 
has two power settings but the "low" setting is more than sufficient for our 
needs.

Hi All,

Anyone have any experience with the heated block trimmers? Specifically, I was 
looking at the one from Newcomer.

Thanks,
Fred
