J. Morita · Dental Equipment · $32,000 – $65,000
A Grade A unit (under 5,000 tube hours, full service records, 2018 or newer) runs $55K–$65K; every 1,000 hours past 8,000 knocks $3,000–$5,000 off asking price. Gap in service records longer than 18 months is a red flag and should drop your offer 10-15%.
Have an authorized J. Morita tech inspect the tube - replacement runs $8,500–$12,000 and sellers won't disclose hours if they're high. Check the detector panel for dead pixels by running a blank scan and zooming into corners; replacements cost $6,200. Physical swelling or discoloration on the gantry power supply means electrolytic caps are failing - budget another $2,800 for that repair.
California and Texas markets are moving these fast - Sage Dental's recent expansion in DFW put upward pressure on used inventory, driving $3K–$5K premiums on 2016+ models in that region. Northeast is softer; expect 8–12 week holding periods in Boston and Philly markets.

Not worn out, just at the midpoint of useful life for this model. Veraviewepocs tubes are rated 15,000–18,000 hours depending on duty cycle. What matters more: continuous use (worse) versus 5 scans a day with cool-down (better). Ask for the service log and calculate daily average. If someone's running 30 scans a day at 12K hours, you're looking at maybe 3 years left before tube replacement.
No. They're peers. Carestream's 17.5cm FOV is functionally identical to this unit's 17.4cm. Main diff: Carestream software is clunkier but CS has better regional service tech support in the Midwest. Veraview wins on dose reduction and acquisition speed. Neither is better - your existing software ecosystem matters more than the hardware specs.
Age, hours, service history, and honesty. A 2012 unit with no tube time documents at $32K is probably flood-damaged or has hidden problems. A 2019 with full service records at $62K is real. Anything under $40K over 8 years old? Request the complete service history before you even look at it.

I can run full service history verification through J. Morita's database in 48 hours and flag pre-purchase repair needs - saves clinics $4K–$8K in surprise calls after handoff. Most brokers skip this; I don't.
