[WANTED] Used Auto - Bottom of the Barrel

Oh, and long forks/extensions on the forklift if you are using one.

years ago we moved our 15 head embroidery machine on our car trailer.    It was maybe 2 miles down the road, and we did it at midnight due to traffic.  I wish I had it on video.

Two Precision ovals just popped up on Ebay.. They're in Alabama, but there's not much info on how well they run.

If you get that Rototex shoot me your UPS number, I have a bunch of air cylinders you can have to
use as screen clamps. That's what I was going to do with them when I sold the press. Then I was going
to make a Whack A Mole but never got around to it.

a challenger popped up too:

I'm really leaning toward the rototex,  Does anyone know what kind of electrical requirements it needs and the footprint?  I cant find much on google.

the bad thing about any of the American/AWT equipment is that there isn't a ton of information about them. You can still get parts from AWT or grainger or the like, but from our personal experience, AWT is a mess, and doesn't really have the infrastructure set up to handle mailing out parts.

Call Casey or Tony, from GSG, they work in Austin frequently, and know those american machines really well. PM me if you want Tony's number

BOOM. i just saved/made your day:

I saw that one earlier haha.  The size is a little daunting honestly.  Not sure how I would get it here...

[StuJohnston]

Yeah, uh, pretty sure 14' across is an understatement by the way. Mine is only a 6 color and I am pretty sure it's bigger than that. On the other hand, if you take off the platen arms, that cuts down the width quite a bit since you can fit the heads in like a jigsaw into the back of a truck and the remaining room in the trailer. I believe mine only has a single phase 220 requirement.

That old multi printer weights a ton, I had one and sold it for scrap, kept one print head to play with, and hell it is heavy too.

[ZooCity]

That's the catch with the Americans, you could drop a goddamn 14 color challenger in the space an 8 color American needs. 

[mimosatexas]

Would this be a good deal assuming it is in good condition:  http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/bfs/4550998399.html

I'm waiting to hear back from the guy right now and hopefully get some photos/video.  I would almost definitely try to talk him down from the $7k

[Prosperi-Tees]

Does it come with a flash? It would be good if you can talk him down to maybe 5k. Good to print simple 1-3 color jobs.

My Rototex was 13' across for a six color, but had a 22" stroke. Multiprinters probably larger, but
equally large print area.
