Leroy, You could also have a electronics technician troubleshoot and repair your screens. You know. Transistors, diodes, triacs, capacitors which are all available online. Hardly anyone even thinks of that option anymore. Let me know if I can help you.

Other than that they are wonderful tissue processors. I am told by the folks that "know" this machine that I can swap out these screens from any working model from any of the following processors. The RMC models, the MVP-1 or MVP-2 the older 1530 , the Renaissance processor. They are all similar since this machine changed hands so many times. It was a Fisher Scientific, then Instrumentation Lab, then Vantana and so on. The problem is that the parts are not available any longer. My only hope if I want to continue using these processors is to find a parts machine or one that is sitting in the basement of someones hospital or lab perhaps for years. So, if you have one or know where to find one I would very much like to hear from you. I bought these two processors about 2 years ago from a government auction still new in the ori ginal crate unopened. I really would like to get them up and running again.
