ATTENTION ALL DEALERS
July 1, 2002

1) TECHNICAL CHANGE NOTICE
PRODUCTS EFFECTED: Spectra 30 HF and 30 HF AP High Frequency Generators
NATURE OF CHANGE: In an effort to reduce installation time the generators above will be pre-staged at the factory. When purchased as part of a system or a generator package, we will calibrate your generator at the factory with the tube and high voltage cables ordered. If a line matching transformer is ordered, we will install it into the generator prior to our final calibration. This program is offered free of charge.

When you order an HF generator, you will be asked to provide the line voltage available at the installation site. This will allow us to configure and calibrate the generator under conditions as close as possible to those at the site. If for some reason, you do not wish for us to pre-calibrate a generator, simply communicate that to us at the time of order.
EFFECTIVE : IMMEDIATELY -Your next order will have this improvement! This change was the result of customer feedback. Thank you.
2) METHOD OF PAYMENT NOTICE
METHOD EFFECTED: Payments made by Visa and Mastercard credit cards.
NATURE OF CHANGE: Payment made by credit card greater than 10 days from Invoice date will be subject to a 3% service charge. Payments made by credit card less than or equal to 10 days after invoice date will not incur the service charge.
EFFECTIVE: All payments starting July 1st, 2002.

Re: Changes to Accessory Offerings

Dear Americomp Dealer,

Over the past few years, we have seen a variety of changes in the imaging industry. Here at Americomp we have examined our business, our customers and their business. To meet the changing needs and environments we all work within, Americomp has identified some changes that will enhance our ability to meet the majority of our customers needs. The changes are;

1) We are adding an exciting new line of accessories. I am sure you will find each of them an excellent value. They are all available now for immediate shipment.

2) We are discontinuing our previous line of accessories. We will still offer many of the types of items offered in the past, however they will have a new part number, better features and in some cases, a different price. After November 5th, 2001 or until quantities last, the following items will no longer be offered;


A7001 I.D. Printer A7008 Gloves A7002 Film Bin - 3 compartment A7009 Polytank
A7004 Safelight A7010 Deluxe Film Bin A7005 Spotlight AC4201 Single Bank Illuminator
A7007 Apron AC4202 Double Bank Illuminator


Please remove and discard pages A1 and A2 of your pricebook dated September 1997. Insert the enclosed new price pages Amanda A2, dated October 2001. Your Dealer Net price continues at List less 40%.

Please take a moment to peruse the new items, and feel free to contact us with your questions, comments and orders!

On behalf of Americomp, I thank you for your past patronage and look forward to enhancing our partnership in the future.

Roger Graham Retires
Last month, after 43 years in the x-ray industry, Roger Graham retired. All of us at Americomp wish him the best of health & happiness. He will be missed!

May 2000
It's spring cleaning time again, and due to "under-whelming" demand, AmeriComp is eliminating the A3290 Chiropractic Floor Rail Tubestand from our product line. (Our improved A3306 Floor to Wall or Ceiling Tubestand is still available) As a result of this change, the AC3 17" Floor Rail System will also be discontinued. These items will only be available thru June 1, 2000 or while quantities last.
