"Aftermarket" filters

Has any one tried machine filters that are not the manufacture brand ? I see on e-bay replacement filters that are less expensive but always say like manufactures or replaces manufactures. Should I stick to the brand name ?

Blower Hours????

I purchased a "New" m-series pro machine from a person I met on e-bay. It appears new and has no session hours on it. But has 15 blower hours recorded.Is this typical? Do they test the machines at the factory by letting them run? I plan to use this as a back-up machine and was just curious.

I than attac...

Good point but all my house elec. outlets have ground fault interupters and as I own a self serve carwash I learned a long time ago to keep spare parts on hand. Tough to find parts at 11:00 o'clock at night when it has to be running in the morning.So I picked up a "used" machine from a friend and no...

Braclet

Don't know where he got because he traveled a lot but my Dad had a Med-Braclet that had a tube for a "face" plate. It unscrewed and a roll of paper with a list of his needs on it would slide out.. Try checking the internet.
Good Luck
