Hi all,
Thought it might be fun to play a little guessing game regarding parts cost for a certain model erbium laser.

Last week my water bottle toggle switch broke. Called the company who quickly sent out the toggle switch and the water bottle and mount. Evidently it all comes together. Now when guessing the cost remember this is including a toggle switch,plastic water bottle, two plastic tubes, and a small metal mounting plate .

Do not include my 5 minutes labor for removing the new toggle switch from the new parts, removing the old toggle switch and placing the new (I would probably faint at that cost, should a company service rep do it).

Closest to the cost gets 1 year free membership in LDF :biggrin:

Ron,
The plastic bottle alone would be over &#36200,
I’ll go &#36549 plus shipping, handling and tax.
Repair in my area for my hard tissue laser is &#36275 an hour, minimun 4 hours, plus &#36300 travel time. That would be &#361400 to install that toggle, plus parts.
That’s why you’re the rich dentist, Ron, you need to keep the economy going.
I ordered a case of plastic bottles for my EMS piezzon unit. Ten plastic bottles were over &#361000.
Time to raise your laser fees 10% and keep moving ahead.

Update- ‘do not compete’ clause now expired. NLT serviced my Waterlase today and I’m 3450 ahead of the warranty cost just this year.
Laser users again have an option for service!
NLT= National Laser Technology
