Hi Thelma, The only two things I can think of that weigh in favor of a "store bought" generator are;
1)current regulation- MAY make smaller particles or finer CS 2)Automatic Shutoff- Most important-A real plus if it's accurate. If it doesn't have both features, why bother, you can easily make your own. Franklin halves + dollars are 60% silver, iirc, and not suitable for CS. The newer bullion coins with the large walking liberty are fine silver I believe. Do not use any other American coin.

Since you were so helpful in answering my other questions, I have another one for you and I'd appreciate any and everyone with an opinion to weigh in because taking everyone's opinion into consideration seems to work best for me since I am so new to this list. I have decided that I do not want to buy CS; I want to make my own. I know I can do it, with a fair amount of frustration and some kind of learning curve, with a very simple set-up. But I also know that I can buy some kind of ready-made generator and just do it to it right off the bat. I would like to know how many people make their CS with home-made set-ups and how many use store-bought generators. What are the pros and cons? Can someone explain in simple English how to measure your ppm's and exactly what is needed? If you prefer a ready-made generator, where did you get yours and how much was it (and how long ago). And also, how has it held up? What features would you look for in a ready-made generator, assuming you do not want to spend a lot of money on the gizmo. I have a jewelry-making friend who told me those Franklin dollars are .9999 silver and that the silver wires are a good deal more expensive because they are fabricated. You have to have the silver in wire form or not? If not, scrap silver from a jewelry store is much cheaper...
