&lt;p&gt;May not be an option nowadays of course.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So many suppliers seem to have fallen by the wayside so the choice is now very limited.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We want someone&amp;nbsp; to service our anaesthetic system.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: X-ray generator</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/237476?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jun 2022 07:24:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:95e6f829-fffa-401d-b76c-5f64827c7821</guid><dc:creator>Joyce Whitehead</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;We have had really good service from Celtic, they supplied our new scanner too, so I&amp;rsquo;d definitely give them a try.

I don&amp;#39;t know if they have anything that would suit you or in stock, but could be worth looking at their website and then phoning them tomorrow?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our developer is IMV and when it has broken they have replaced it with a loaner - the engineer gets in a car and comes up to us, though we are in Northern Ireland, so none of this may be relevant to you. I note they have xray generators on their website also.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All that said, I&amp;#39;d probably do without for a week to make sure that I was happy with what I was getting as will have it for a long time and little things (the pointing beam turning off every 15 secs and needing clicked on again when centering/positioning!!!) can be very annoying over a period of over a decade, rather than rush into it if at all possible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would phone my RPA also... in my experience that is the weak link in getting new xray equpiment up and going in a timely fashion...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: X-ray generator</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/237460?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 07 Jun 2022 21:01:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:8785b5ab-1771-4b6d-997f-f834c0d7debf</guid><dc:creator>Alastair Welch</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Veterinary X-Rays, Princess Risborough&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
