I demo'd one two weeks ago for a week. Put over 1200 splices on the machine in that time. I agree without the heat shrink tray its a bit of a pain. Also the size reminds me of my 17S much bigger than the 60S. I normally run dual cleavers on my two 60S machines while splicing. I timed the 60S with dual cleavers and the 70S with single cleaver and it was just about the same amount of time. We have been doing 144F points for two years now. Tried to run dual cleavers on the 70S not to good it actually slowed me down due to the machine speed. I have brought the heat shrink holder up to the engineers in the SC repair facility. Also if you do fuse connects with fanout kits they currently don't have the chuck for the machine but if your putting fuse connects on tight buffer you don't need a chuck like the 60S. All in all I should have mine in about 4-5 weeks if not sooner.
