I went to the Cytech website today <doublepark.net/index.html>, and
the account is suspended. There is no answer from their 800 number. I
guess I'm going to order an Eagle unit, which is made offshore, for
under $2,000.00. You can still buy their U.S.-made unit for about
$3,500.00. I bought a Hoist weight machine, which is fabricated
offshore, and I think that the quality will be fine, as long as Eagle
did their homework.
