New Stock Arrival

punkin

There will be 6 of the Ace of Hearts in this express shipment leaving in a couple of weeks. I will have pricing later today. I would like to offer them to forum members before listing them on the site, so PM if you are going to order after the price update this afternoon.

The parrots are not ready at this stage, so the Ace of Hearts will be priced without the adaptor to HBS boilers or the parrot. These will be options.

@Clickeral as punkin cant supply at this stage one off elements, try Romar Elements ph 9761 0299 or email

They can make whatever element combo you want, they understand our hobby requirements as well.

The element in my keg is an element for electric backup on a solar hot water system, been in the keg a couple of years now.

2400 watt ULD elements are back in stock for those who have been waiting. My apologies but the factory lead time is so long that estimating stock needs is difficult on these as they sell so quickly.

+1 for Romar - Robert knows his stuff & what we need. He made me a custom 6Kw unit. This pic compares it to a 2400W unit

The Ace of Hearts is coming to Australia in a few short weeks. Should be leaving China next week with any luck. This express shipment will be for 6 units only. I have offered them here to be reserved and there are two left up for grabs.

As stated elsewhere the likely price without parrot or boiler adaptor (we really need a better name for that) is looking to be $749 (will be confirmed on arrival).

Am I right in thinking that that element could have 2 power cables if you wanted. This would be good for those that don't have 15 amp power supplies. You could split the power to different power lines in your house.

if you made that with dual 1200W 120VAC elements and advertised on homebrewtalk, you could sell a few hundred, that is the perfect entry system! perfect, I tell ya! I could run a ace of hearts on my condo porch!

punkin

Tell Larry mate, he's the one that would be selling 120V, we don't have it here. Fact is with a HBS boiler you could run the Ace of Hearts on your condo porch anyway. That's the whole concept.

You could run it off two 10amp circuits the issue I am facing is finding someone to buy from as I can't got longer then 340mm and want low or ultra low density

For 297mm max I could have with low density is 1800w (900w on each set):s

punkin

I see you aren't getting much co-operation on the other site mate.

@punkin ever thought of bringing some of the copper EZ flanges and pipes etc in?

I don't believe it suits our pipe

I've tossed it round :))

New stock of the 2" and 4" coming in the next sea freight, meanwhile i have plenty of stock of the three inch. These are custom made to suit Australian standard pipe and turned from solid bar (hence the price).

Haha :) I am liking the idea of some copper bling :p

vooharmy

Are the copper ferules setup for straight pipe? I have a reflux still that i would like to make modular. its a great still for pumping out neutral but its a beast to store!

punkin

Yes mate they are. They are sized to fit aussie pipe.

I am having a holdup with my express shipment with customs atm. Anyone waiting for parts i apologise, but it's out of my hands. I will keep you informed.

oops irrelevant... deleted

Got another thought for you @punkin and I am sure @lloyd can source some

Have you considered selling Digital Amp/volt meters for your power controllers?

I know you can get them off ebay ie

Digital Dual LCD Voltmeter Ammeter AC 110V 220V 240V 300V 100A Voltage Meter

I just had the resistor in mine die, just thought having a local source might be a good idea and I would pay alittle more for a product I know has a good vendor behind it

I emailed the guy on Ebay and he has offered to refund me half my purchase price however I am still out a meter, might have to try replace the resistor

fadge

Yea I have a simular unit, but bought 2 of them at the time, cheap and easy to replace, just in case one went bang.

"Buy cheap, pay twice" is the saying, and over the years how true it rings.

Decent gear costs a bit more, but generally lasts a whole lot longer.

I'm just as guilty, every now and again trying to save a buck, but allways comes back to bite ya in the arse.

Still waiting on customs to make a ruling for those who are waiting on the Ace's i apologise.

One the bright side i spent a fair few hours today listing turnkey systems to make it nice and easy for those looking for the best combo of boilers and stills to match up.

Pretty happy with how the page turned out.

TheMechWarrior

Great idea!

FullySilenced

NOT sure what knee's, nut's and bum's have to do with your complete systems but... I might find a different descriptive note to add... :-?

punkin

Aussie stuff mate, hard to explain. All are expressions for the best here.

Great news for those who have been waiting for special orders and the Ace of Hearts. Customs clearance was toda and delivery should be to me tomorrow. I'll fill the backorders as quickly as i'm able.

More good news in that i found a box of 2" clamps in the warehouse and they are no back up and listed on the site as in stock again.
