Hi Mike,
We have two of the VIP 3000's, they are true workhorses. One of ours is
from 1969 and still processing without any issues. Make sure that you do
have a company nearby that can work on them. You can still find parts for
them, I tend to only get parts that are used though. I don't know if
Sakura makes new parts.
Good luck!
Patrick

According with the model and brand the price is very good.
Why don't you contact Sakura to find about parts for it in existence or
even a maintenance contract with them?
Sakura VIP are top of the line in tissue processing.

Subject: [Histonet] Tissue Tek VIP 3000
In an internet search I came across a used TissueTek VIP 3000 that is in
excellent condition. This looks to be an older model and I am wondering
if anyone has any experience with this instrument? Are there any issues
with parts replacement? comes with one year warranty and they are asking
around $8000.00.
Thanks!
Mike
