Well, we shipped quite a few of the Anorexic BOSS Streets out and then got hit with a calamity of monumental proportions!!!!!!
Here's what happened. . . . We have separate chillers on our Laser engravers. This makes each of them a stand alone unit. That was done to prevent us from ever having an issue with both of them being down at the same time. . . . Well, as luck would have it, we had an electric outage during some high winds last week. No big deal, so we thought. Wrong! This outage sent some sort of an electrical surge through the laser room that blew out the protective fuses in the control panels of both chillers. We didn't even know that there were protective fuses in the control panels of the chillers!!!
Here's where it got confusing. . . This little fuse did not stop the chillers from operating. . . it only stopped the compressors inside from operating!. . . So, we were still circulating water through the lasers but it was not being cooled. A few cycles later and the water was getting super heated and blowing laser bulbs like they were free!!!!
An HVAC guy, two different electricians, and 5 days later we discovered that 2 tiny little fuses were causing the problem!
We ordered the fuses in and are now lasering to beat the band!:thumbup:
So, all remaining paid for CABS, SCABS, and LCABS will be shipped by Tuesday!!!!!:thumbup:
Let's Drink!!!!! :thumbup:
