he says he bought a bunch of them used from a company and hes going by the counter on the machine.
I am assuming it is accurated being that it is a design built into the machine though.

Thanks for the info.

I know that there is no definative answer but I am possibly going to buy a syncrowave 350LX that according to its counter, has 643 hours and 71,600 cycles. I want to make sure there is plenty of juice left in it.

Thanks in advance
