::: Edit: It's a little late to opt out of Discord forced arbitration, unless you've recently created a new account. Unfortunate, but in the meantime, you might want to watch out for regulations in your state's legislature...
Sidenote: If you're still on Discord, make sure you opt out of mandatory arbitration ASAP! And maybe consider joining Matrix where they don't have a skeleton in a closet?
Have you heard of another social platform (corporate or not) mandating arbitration? :::

Back on topic...
This should hopefully be the last equipment wanted post. Yes, I know they're a bit annoying, but these things are just hard-to-find, you know?
In case you're wondering, yes, we're still looking for a PMLT/TDA-99M. Any leads or demos, as always, should go to DMs. But ATI isn't the only vendor making photometer-based fit testers. Okay, they used to be, when their first competitor went out of business, but guess who stepped up in their place...
Yep. Here's the manual for the 8587A. IIRC, it's been described as a miniature version of the 8130A, the giant filtration tester used by respirator manufacturers. Except, this one acts a little more like a PortaCount, in that you can fit test with this thing!
The 8587A doesn't include a vacuum pump, so that's a little disappointing, but in all other respects, it's just like a PMLT/TDA-99M with regards to requiring oil-based aerosols and a hood for the person being tested.
