Quoted from pookycade:So can’t you sell one and bring in another new ? As I’ve reported we were forced to sell some pins (mostly in storage but some off the floor too - including our Adams) to get our debt load manageable. But honestly we hadn’t refreshed our pin lineup much in the last year. I used some of the proceeds to buy a new Avengers because we needed to freshen it up and also I didn’t want to give the impression it was fire sale going out of business time. The great thing about pins (as opposed to our videos which are seeming worth more as firewood or parts) is that they seem to hold their value well so that even if I have to liquidate the Avengers (unlikely but possible) I shouldn’t take that much of a haircut in doing so.
Further I would suspect once winter hits (pandemic or not) you should kick back up some. We have always done well in winter. Of course blowing arctic air thru the place to keep circulation of fresh air is gonna be an interesting challenge, coat time I guess. But winter in Minnesota ain’t the same thing as winter in Virginia, that’s for sure
Our custom shutter fan ventilation array works well in Virginia temperate weather, but on the really cold days it will have to be seen whether the HVAC can keep up. Summer was A-OK.
Normally, one would use a HRV (heat recovery ventilator) system to bring in fresh air while simultaneously exhausting stale air. The system preserves the heat during the transfer, which saves the energy of reheating the incoming air.
However, I am uncertain if preserving the heat also preserves the covid during the exchange process. Which would defeat the purpose.
An interesting option is the Air King QuFresh. Only brings in outside air which is within suitable parameters, but on especially cold/humid days it wouldn't turn on at all. Think of it more like a low-cost auxiliary to other solutions (MERV13 filters, brute force shutter fans, etc). I'm going to put one in my house as a simple background air refresher.
