Roger Vitko is the Tunze USA guy. I've talked to him on several occasions.

Apparently certain (all?) Tunze have a centrifugal clutch mechanism that is damaged by frequent start and stop operations, yet this would seem to contradict Rogers post above.

I know that DrTango has been running a Tunze 6080 on a timer. I don't know how it's held up, though.

Koralias are nice but they're not in the same league.
