You know it isn't bad, but I have had some regular problems with the purge
cycle.  About every 2 months I need to unclog the vent lines as they get
clogged with paraffin.  We change the purge about every 5-10 runs too and
we still get this occurring.  The 2000 software also has a glitch in it
that can create problems if the delay cycle and the first station go over
midnight at the same time.  Other than that it is actually a decent
workhorse when it works.

Hi, Histonetters:
Does anyone have any experience with the Ventana Renaissance Tissue
Processor?
Any pros or cons? Thanks.
