I don't mean to go on a rant about this, but:
What an appropriate end to a long story of corporate ego triumphing over a sense of responsibility toward the end user customer.
I am not at liberty to share what that machine cost the "original
Prochem" to make, but I think many of you clean houses that cost less. They produced that useless thing when Prochem Bruin II's were breaking belts every 200 hours and they hadn't yet gotten a handle on how to fix it.
As a Prochem distributor then and now, I was and remain bitter at the waste of money entailed in making that unit when the funds were needed to support units that were failing in the field.
