GojiMet86 4,699 #5 Posted January 31, 2013 Cool pics and vids! Are those Orion VI going to be replaced anytime soon? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RookiePhenom 92 #6 Posted January 31, 2013 Well Done, Seven. I'm glad that dossier worked out (and those 4330 DLFR's are purty). Goji: We just replaced the power packs on the 6000 series, so at the moment they are here to stay. We're getting a batch of Eldorados (that Seven didn't get a shot to take) that have replaced the oldest NABI's (2400 Series) and whatever is left of the Hammerhead Orion 1's from the 90's. I'd project the 6000's will be gone in about 2-3 years, but they are workhorses to say the least. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jgood6195 216 #13 Posted February 7, 2013 Who wants to bet that the Xcelsiors will replace the Orion VIs? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metro CSW 1,507 #14 Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) Actually PACE maybe in-terms with ElDorado National instead.... 69 now, options for 416 later. It's just something I read. Edited February 7, 2013 by Metro CSW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

compobus fan 55 #19 Posted February 8, 2013 I guess you haven't seen their budget. They have a grant from the Federal Government, been looking @ CNG options, actually had a Metro 45C there for a while. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
