Well, can`t have Santa getting disappointed, so...even though I know NOTHING about Canadian availability...



See if TOL (http://www.topoftheline.com/index.html) ships to Canada.



Or try CMA.



Or maybe see if you (uh, Santa) can order directly from Cyclotoolmakers (new owners of Cyclo). Can`t find the number at the moment, but do an internet search and you`ll find them. Nice, helpful people there.

Hmm, why is this in Car & Driver? :confused:



Oh well.... *waves magic wand*



:D



Sorry, I don`t know the answer to your question. The Cyclo is a pretty exclusive item AFAIK.

The site TOGWT`s post links to has good Cyclo info, but to actually order one (or get it serviced), you need to contact the NEW OWNERS at CYCLOTOOLMAKERS (http://www.cyclotoolmakers.com/)



They list international numbers, so I bet they`ll ship to Canada.

Accumulator,

Santa is a little confused, the site you gave a link to has three different electric models , (80-010, 80-020, 80-030)what is the difference between them, and wich would you recommend:bow :wavey

Santa- Assuming it`s gonna be used off regular household current (like a PC or most other electrical devices), get the 80-010. The others are for high-voltage applications. I`ve never even SEEN the -020 or -030 ones. Talk with them when ordering, they ARE nice, helpful folks. And also get item 85-110, the velcro pad holders (maybe get a spare set too). And if the 85-010 doesn`t come with the flat wrench, get it now so it`ll be handy if/when it`s needed. Maybe also consider the carpet brushes while you`re ordering.



You can get pads elsewhere, but there`s nothing wrong with the (velcro backed) ones from Cyclo. Except that they are almost always contaminated with velcro slubs (bits of velcro "thread" on/in the foam) which are sorta a pain to pick off (easy to pick them off the yellow and green pads, hard to pick them off the white glazing ones). At least get a few of the medium (green) ones so it can be put to use right away. Or just order a whole bunch of pads and be done with it :D



The NON-velcro pads avoid the velcro contamination, but they`re harder to clean and *MAN* are they a pain to put on/take off compared to using the velcro! NOT exaggerating, they were all we had back in the day (before the velcro ones came out) and they are a real hassle.



Hope this helps! I`m gonna be offline for a few days, until Monday, so if you need more info, please don`t think I`m ignoring you.

Accumulator, Santa has ordered through these people, what do you think, seems like Explorer will get more this way for the same price as TOL:bow http://detailking.goemerchant7.com/index.cgi?PageToView=catalog&Department=122971&Cartid=31721055815055&Merchant=detailking&ExpandedDepts=

Looks like Explorer is gonna have a good Christmas. That package looks good, though *I* would get a lot of extra pads :D



Glad I could help, hope you like it.

Yes, the pads we will get from TOL, they are way cheaper there.



You were the greatest:bow



I just hope I`ll become as good as you are with it:D



Again thanks to all that helped me , I think this is a great machine:bow :bow
