Oops I forgot to mention Bill Foust is the broker we are going thru. Very happy with the communication from him so far. I have heard nothing but good things about him as well.

I will keep you in mind J for sure. Thanks

Well I almost got the new press today. The shipper did not communicate to me until 2 hours before the truck showed up so I was not prepared with a forklift!! Oh well it is gonna be 102-109 degrees this weekend so I would not have wanted to mess with it. I will have the crates in the shop on Monday morning.

I'm not finding much info about Bill Faust. I keep a folder full of bookmarks for used equipment dealers, and would like to add him to it, if he has a web page.

we bought a dryer through him last year and he was a pleasure to deal with. There were no issues with the dryer as Bill was very upfront about it so I can't tell what would happen if there was a problem, but everybody we talked to spoke highly of him and he assured us that he would take care of any issues ( and there is ZERO reasons to not believe him).

Well this thing is probably a paper weight now. The trucking company damaged this thing like you wouldn't believe. I am pissed!!!

sh1t, that printhead is toast.  The hub of the machine might be ok.  this is why insurance is an important thing.

I hate to see good equipment like this get trashed become useless.  Same thing that happened to our van.

Hope you got GOOD insurance for this sucker.  Gonna cost a lot, if not totally pointless to fix.

Gerry,
I have spare parts to fix it. Your F'd if they damaged the PLC and that is what matters. Those all thread parts are weak and bend easy. That machine is a tank and unless it fell off the truck it will be ok.

Yeah I am sure it can be fixed but I dont have the money to pour into this thing. I am going to file a claim and see what happens. This has just broke my spirit. I am dang near broke financially as it is and now this.
