I could have put that $75 into a KAB EV-1 from the beginning. Expensive lesson learned. It's not that the Orbitrac doesn't work, it's that it's a ripoff for replacement parts and fluids. Allsop gets you hooked on the $40 starter set and then you end up getting reamed with their "refill" parts. I tried the DIY parts and fluids thing for about a week and then Henry and others kicked me in the head hard enough for me to snap out of the Orbitrac stupor and get myself a true RCM. It's not "cheap", but it's a good bargain in the long run.

those refills and pads. I think I will get the DD table, Henry is right about them being good for something! [grin], instead of the KAB because 1. I am a hardhead, 2. I think hand applying the vacuum works good for me.The pads that come with the Orbidrac and the little spray bottles are a keeper. Those are usefull. Even that little tiny brush which i use to clean my Hunt brush. The enclosure can hold the AQ or Deram brush etc, so all is not a loss.
