Default Where can I take my Oxycon for repair in Dallas, TX area??

I have 4 Oxycons. One is almost 48000 hours and one at 20000 something hours. I also have one with about 600 hours but the only thing it does when you push the button to turn it on is warning beeping. I need to have them maintenanced but I don't know where to take them.

I live in Terrell, 50 miles east of Dallas but we shop in Garland and Mesquite mostly.

If you know of ANY company I can take these to, please let me know.


Thanks so much for your help.

Check with hospital supply places for referrals.

Barbara, I got my oxycon refurbished from a guy in Mesquite. I have no idea what his name or his company's name is anymore, but it was either Ginny or Lenora that referred me to him. I can't remember which one of them I got his info from. You might want to PM them and see if they still have his name/number.

Thanks Shrimp. I'll look into that.

Traci, I'll do that in the morning. Do you remember how much it cost?

Barbara - call Adam at o2connection:

He has a shop in Mesquite and did a fantastic job of refurbing my old machine. I can't remember what he charged me, but I remember it being an awesome price for the amount of work he did.

Yep, that's the one Ginny!

Barbara- I bought an entire machine from him. It was either $200 or $250, I can't remember.

Thanks for the tip! I'll give him a call on Tuesday.

Roo, you can do soft glass (104 & 90 & 96) with a 5 lpm oxycon. If you want to do boro (33), you will need to piggy back two small ones (5 lpm) or just buy one large one so you can do it all!

If you have any other questions, you will get more attention by opening up your own thread, ok?
