Quality Manual Press Rototex 6/4 - $1,500
« on: January 23, 2017, 11:49:10 AM »
6 heads, 4 platens
we run a 6/6 rototex as our manual press, built like a tank, it's idiosyncrasies are minor (the O.C. design means you'll need to keep f/b tilt in mind as you change it, micro locks if over tightened can make a bowel of a thin washer and frustrate registration). keep them in mind and it will last forever, be easy to register/hold registration.

everything functions.
could use a good cleaning and greasing.
should probably have the micro locking washers replaced.
comes with 4 adult platens but not a one of them is truly perfect and ready to go.
awt-gpi still makes these new and sell parts for them (http://www.awt-gpi.com/)

obviously pickup only. Mount Vernon OH roughly an hour north of Columbus OH.
$1,500. (or make an offer)

it's very much OBO.
it's in my way. If you can make use of it, and can pick it up, make me a reasonable offer.

I've been through 3 of these over the years, our 8/4 is 15 years old, and rock solid. So if someone is near him and needs a first or second manual, go for it...
