I've got plenty of juice here.  :D
Are there any sellers I should stay away from? I remember a big dust up with one a few years ago.

If you are still on film these are fantastic units and you can dial in your exposure and lock it in with the built in integrator.

Just to make sure I'm looking at the correct model, these are 110 volt?

I had one that was 120V, 18 amp. If I recall the transformer wiring inside can be swapped around for different inlet voltages.

Any thoughts on this company?
They were recommended by a rep at Ulano.

Not sure if this is helpful at this point, but I got a Ikonics/ChromaLine Quick Image 2631 unit in 2021. It is a rebranded Workhorse Lumitron 25x36, made specifically for ChromaLine. I purchased it directly from ChromaLine and it shipped from Workhorse. I paid $2,900 (before shipping costs) for it in 2021 and looks like they are now at $3,500, but I absolutely love this unit. It does take about 30 secs to get to full vacuum, and you do have to operate the LED exposure with a second switch, but it does turn off automatically when the timer runs out. Our current exposure time is at 20 seconds and we have been using that same time since we got it. Our stencils are beautiful and our prints, from sim process to simple spot, look incredible.

Compared to the M&R Starlight at twice the price, or Vastex E-2000 at almost twice, I have a hard time believing that those touch screens and settings features justify that much more money.
