Peggie;
You owe me .30 cents a mile, I'll take it out in free advice.

Well, there were a couple less of them this morning. No question, they
are Raritan Atlantes.

I printed out the parts sheet, and took it with me. It was like looking
at a map of the Bahamas and looking for Catalina Island. The water was
there, but the land looked wrong.

I'd bet the store guy was right, they weren't macerators. Maybe the
macerator was there and I couldn't find it. All parts connected like
they were made to be connected, finishing in proper sanitation hose. But
no wires, and no empty holes. The big stuff, and the details were as
shown on the parts sheet.

Nothing had been removed, all plumbing looked like it had just been
disconnected and the unit pulled out, but there was no trace of anything
electrical, nothing. It looked exactly like the drawing, and looked
nothing like it at the same time.

Confused? So am I.

Let's hear from someone else who saw these things.

I have been lusting after the "Sea era" head at your suggestion, when I
ran across 7 used heads. They appear to be Raritan Atlantes. The word
"Raritan" in stamped on the back of the bowl. One piece porcelain bowl,
just as it appears in the catalogue I have. The store employee said
they were fresh water flush, but he also said they weren't macerating
heads, the catalogue says they are. Maybe he didn't know.

They are "take outs" as someone didn't like the color, black (I don't
either).

I wasn't sure what I was looking at at the store, so I went home and
looked at the web site. Of course the exploded parts diagram isn't
available, neither is the brochure ("not available on this server").

Ok, the asking price is $135 each. They appear to be unused, spotless
everywhere. Seat included, hoses hanging out the back. No solenoid, no
manuals.

I will probably go down and get a better look tomorrow. I still don't
know what's missing, and what the worst case scenario is on getting them
installed and working.

Your opinion, please.
