MES chip tray upgrade still needed???

The new units I have seen still need the upgrade.

They will ask for the model number before sending it out.

And as far as I know they are on back order.

I just got a new MES 30, not the one with the window but the regular less expensive one and it does not need the upgrade.

I wonder if it's an older model, what's the model #?

Here's the list of model numbers and as you can see it has yours listed as having the small chip box. 

If you have the big one then maybe they have changed them & are not sending out the ones with the small chip box anymore.

Yes, they have changed them out for sure, I most definitely have the larger chip tray.

Maybe that's why they are on back order, because all the new ones have the bigger tray.

I agree with you guys, the AMNPS & MES are a match made in heaven!
