So...I may have to take this part on myself. What's a rough estimate of the cost for the necessary tools to do the startup (vacuum pump, gauges, tank, etc?) Finally, does anyone still have these tools and would entertain an offer to sell them, or charge a "borrowing" fee?
Much thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Depending on what type of stuff you buy, it's going to run between $300 & $500.
Since I had a major problem last December, I've pretty much decided to
keep my kit of stuff.
Since I know that once I start selling off stuff, Murphy is going to zap my Sanyo..
Plus, I might end up installing a small Sanyo in my Daughter's house in the spring.
She has a nice big room in her house, that in a previous life, was long one-car garage. Lots of windows and no insulation underfoot..
Like my den addition, it's hard to keep warm.. But worse..
Cheers,
Rich
