Outback automated stacker

So does anyone have one of these they want to sell?  Or does anyone else want one?  Maybe if we bandy together we can order enough to convince Rich to make them, as they were discontinued?  If worked as well as I'd hope, this would be a great tool to employ.  Thoughts?

I'd like to see one in action. If I could buy a machine that sat at the of my dryers catching and stacking everything that was sent down it then I'd purchase two tomorrow. It seems like most shops don't have problems finding people that are good catchers/counters/finishers but I sure as hell have. Sign me up if I can get a machine to do it. Rich? Lol

Wow that's pretty sweet. I'd love to see a video of it in action! The only negative I could think of is not catching misprints or pin dots. Still though I'd of thought these would of sold pretty well.

Anyone else interested?  I know I can twist Alan's arm  ..  so does that make 5 units sold so far???  We need 50 units in on this deal... come on people, use some common sense! :-)

I have a video, but it's 13.4 mb -- Frog, any suggestions?

Anyone remember the one-armed bandit homemade unloader, Robey?

I have so much love for that video.

When it's sped up it sounds like a 3/4 (6/8?) version of the intro to Money.
The prototype used an ice chest for a stacking spot.
The artsy manner in which he filmed a quarter of the video.
The fact that this 480 SD footage is available in 1080P... you can really see the compression and pixel blur
My favorite is the clapping of his hands like a clap board as if he was syncing off camera audio to his video footage.

It is a cool contraption.

I've literally watched thousands of youtube screen printing videos and have never come across that one.  Kind of makes you wonder just how many videos pertaining to SP there are that I haven't seen...hundreds of thousands maybe?  I think for a guy to make that while welding in his shorts is unbelievably awesome.  I see things that can be done to make it better but I couldn't have gotten anywhere near that far on my own.  I've always felt like BASF in that sense...remember that old ad campaign?

i want one. even if it doesn't do the best job, its better then having a pile of shirts.

Thank you for bringing things back to focus Jon. That makes 6. 44 more to go. Who else?

In light of another thread I see... I can't think of a smarter investment than this that would be "working smarter, not harder."

I'm not really that hip when it comes to videos, and the best way to post them, but I do remember when I did want to post one, getting a YouTube channel, uploading it there and posting links.

Go to https://www.wetransfer.com and send it to me at info@kingscreen.com  I will upload it to our YouTube channel.

does anybody have any idea what the price would be on something like this?

-and-

how many shirts it can stack before you have to unload the table?

depending on the answers to those 2 questions, I could be talked into one.

[ScreenPrinter123]

@Kingscreen, sent.

@jvanick, $25k, but we need 50 orders, unless Rich wants to be ultra nice :-). 

@everyone else of good will and common sense:

(1) M&R, I think, didn't do itself justice in the video - would that the guy putting the shirts on the dryer (when kingscreen posts the link) had done so with even a modicum of sense, having the bottom of the shirt somewhat even (front side and back side) -- which is the most important aspect of the stacking process -- that would've made all the difference.  It, in my estimation, was done so slovenly in the video I can't believe this made it as the promo video.  (I wonder, moreover, if the shirts can be laid long-ways as well.)  Thus, do not let the injustice of the poor selling action of the guy loading the shirts on the dryer dissuade you!

(2) As far as the price, that has a ROI in less than a year or 6 months or even 3 months for some of us/you -- think about it.  That's a faster ROI than doing 80 screens in an hour on a DTS  .

Ok -- Jvanick, I'll count you as 7 -- 43 more to go..  Let's go people! The longer we wait, the more $ we're losing... :-)
