What happened to Marcodie?

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.

[TCT]

WOW! I bet that is the one the shop up here got screwed out of!

[GraphicDisorder]

10k is insane cheap. How could you go wrong on that?

[mimosatexas]

I don't know if I have 10k to drop on a press from a dead manufacturer sold as is...

[Prosperi-Tees]

But the manu is not dead, they are alive and well.... in Kuwait or something like that.

[GraphicDisorder]

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.

[mimosatexas]

Hard to feel comfortable assuming with 10 grand...

You can get a ton of pictures if you ask. They sent me a ton.

[GraphicDisorder]

Hard to feel comfortable assuming with 10 grand...

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.

[ffokazak]

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!

[ebscreen]

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.
Tempted Myself!!! Nahhhh

Well there ya go

[jvanick]

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.

[GraphicDisorder]

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.
