Ill tell you right now, I am seriously considering it. We are nearly to the point where a second press will be needed and 10k is crazy interesting.

You guys with manuals or older autos should be ALL OVER this.

Hopefully I'll never have to grow up and get a real job...

People did it with playtex and spent a lot more than that. LOL

Assuming its all there, and its just a assemble deal, 10k seems like a almost a no brainier and I am a all M&R shop.

There are manufactures that don't back up 100k machines worth a crap and people buy them all the time lol.  If timing was a little different or I didn't really really just want to keep all blue presses in here id be all over this.

For 10K on the used market, that press is 10x more than you would get with anything else.

Non-existent manufacturer support or not...

All air Gauntlet II's are going for twice this!

Don't they use 3x3" 80/20 extrusions as pallet arms?

Seeing that reminded me of Lawson's press.

Although This Looks Like A Deal To Good To Be True! It Is.
A Really Nice Machine That The Seller Forgets To Mention Has Never Been Programed, AND Is Not Complete.
Probably could be done for $35k Maybe More.
The Austrian Duo Stole the Program Evidenced By Their New Camel Company In Kuwait.
That Being Said, It Is A Nice Machine.
Go For It, If You Like Problem Solving. You Would Learn Quite A lot.

if it's not programmed, that would be the kicker...  Figuring out ladder logic is not something easy... I investigated writing an 'open-source' press controller that could be reconfigured to handle things like old Javelin's (timer based only) and Gauntlets (proximity-sensor controlled) and the like using a pc with digitial IO cards and a real-time linux kernel, along with a ladder logic back-end like EMC/LinuxCNC

I spent about a week deeply investigating what it would take and decided that with the value of my time it just wasn't worth it to attempt it.

I wouldn't even consider it if it was missing anything. 10k though if its all there someone would be a fool to pass up.
