Hi guys.... quick question about scroll pumps

Post by Doug_Gourlay »

Hi folks,

I'm new to the fusor forum but hope that I'm not asking a trivial question.
There are otherwise very expensive dry scroll pumps available for variable prices.
My concern is that the rebuild kits for these pumps can be much more than the actual asking price of the used device.

Has there been discussions around 'less expensive' (even if not quite as durable/effective) alternatives to factory certified rebuild kits?
Specifically, scroll tip materials. These seem to be outrageously expensive (but in fairness, often made out of exotic materials).

Has this been "asked and answered" in threads I've yet to discover?
Thanks folks,
Doug
