This is in another shop here in Austin who is/was getting rid of all of their equipment related to screen printing and going to only digital and vinyl. Best part, it's all been free! I have gotten a bunch of goodies from them this week:
- an American International Press (thing is like 6'x7' and weighs A TON, used the tow truck and pallet jack method I read about here to move the thing, which ended up being easier than I expected and pretty much dirt cheap compared to hiring a freight or rigging company of any kind or renting a forklift. Was $160 bucks to do EVERYTHING involved in the move.)
- a legit Cincinnati one armed bandit with 5x9 table and tons of squeegees etc
- a 48 inch squeegee sharpener
- a 24 inch squeegee sharpener
- a 3k Metal Halide exposure unit (i posted about this the other day because it needs a little work and I've never heard of the brand)
- tons of huge wooden squeegees I'm sending to mk162
- a bunch of enormous aluminum frames, though most of them need new mesh
This exposure frame is the last "good" thing left, but I think I may have to let someone else grab it. I already have a really similar sized unit with the rolling frame instead of the wall/floor mount (mine is 69x61 or something while this one is 76x56 if I remember right). Anyone interested in coming to Austin and grabbing it? PM me for contact info etc.
They also had a super old nuarc image setter but in mint condition, a bunch of old MASSIVE plotters that probably wouldnt work on a modern system based on the cable connection, an old incomplete UV curing system, a really old solvent printer (also massive) lots of huge wooden frames, a couple drying racks (the ghetto kind without springs that are designed for chloroplast, and a bunch of other stuff I probably forgot. I was going to actually grab most of that as well, but I believe a junk guy came and got it all to sell for scrap while I was working out the tow truck logistics. O well...
