ThermoFax
TUNE-UP Service
One of my recent repair compliments:
"Machine arrived today, thank you so much for your service. My machine has never worked this good, and that is saying a lot because it has worked better than anyone else's that I have ever worked with. You are amazing sir thank you for your time and effort on my machine"

Just like your car needs a tune-up your 3M transparency maker or Thermo-fax needs a tune-up as well. Flat fee includes Lube and Adjustment. (Note: For an extra $245 fee I clean the cover, front console, the power cord, rollers and I also do some detail cleaning of the machine.) The machine may need other parts!

If you want to pass on the cleaning, I do not clean. Pass on the lamp--I do nothing around the lamp, due to risk of damage. I also do not install other sellers lamps or parts.

Clean the cover, front console and some detailing $245.

Grimy or extra dirty fee $50, you should be able to tell me if it needs this fee, This fee goes with the cleaning fee above $245 + $50 = $295. If it just so bad I might charge more or choose not to clean.

IMPORTANT: You must pack the machine properly buy a heavy duty box and over pack with packing peanuts. Buy insurance in case of shipping damage! We will use the same box and packing to return the machine to you. We ship with Fedex. We are Not Responsible for shipping damage. No warranty for rollers, belt or bulb. If the bulb breaks in shipping buyer agrees to purchase a new one. We rarely have shipping damage maybe 1 in 25-50 machines probably less. But we do get shipping damage from machines that are shipped to us due to improper packing. Again, We are Not Responsible for shipping damage.

If we can not fix the machine or if parts are unavailable we charge a flat fee of $75 plus return shipping.

Send me an Email

NOTE: NO NEW 15 amp lamps AVAILABLE. 15 amp thermofax machine Lamps are NOT available. If you have a 15 amp machine and the lamp is broken or dark, you can email me to check if I happened to have any good used 15 amp lamps available.
NO Drop-off: With a steady flow of machines shipped to me I have found shipping much easier than setting up 2 appointments for drop-off and pick-up. If your local then shipping should be very reasonable and generally arrive overnight. Let me know your local and I can lower the return shipping price. Thank You.

I have had to add a $10 per day storage fee, this begins 20 days following notification that your machine is complete. At 75 days the machine will be forfeited, it will be mine to do with as I please.
