    fragramatics vs ginsan combo vacs

    I agree that Coleman Combo Vacuum are better than Fragramatics. Coleman Vac are easy to troubleshoot and timer are easy to send in for repair (to B & C electronics for $100 instead of IDX for much more).

    U can buy a retrofit red led display kit from Hamilton or one from Dixmoor. Hamilton is $235 and Dixmoor is $350 when I had mine done. You can also buy a new green orginal display from Hamilton for a lot cheaper but it will only last a few years.
