I knew somebody would ask me about beds so here it goes and I will explain what I did and why.

Let me again explain that the only other tanning option locally is a hair/nail salon that has 3 beds. 2- 24 or 26 lamp sundash with 100w bulbs and 1 Tropical Rayz 30 lamp 100w bulbs and it is 5 miles from me.

I bought the following:

1 Perfect Tan 30 lamp/1 HP facial (20 min)<100 hours $1,000

1 PureTan JetStar 2000 32 lamp 160/100w (15 min) 109 hours

1 PureTan Quamtum 851 Stand up 51-160W bulbs (10 min), (95 hours)

1 PureTan Ellipse IV 42 lamp + 8-400w facials (10 min) 134 hours

I bought all of the Puretan beds above for $6,000 from a salon that was went out of business. The JetStar and Perfect Tan appear brand new and the others are in good shape with minor blemishes.

I realize that Puretan is out of business but I read some good things on the site here about the beds themselves and most of the parts are generic is my understanding. Also the owner included a Tmax manager Pro and the buckboosters to run the 3 beds.

In my area I will have the best around. As I mentioned I live in a small farm town with a population in the whole county of about 30,000 or so. I am always open to suggestions but remember i am adding these to an already successful video rental store to add extra income.
