Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Any one own and operate one of these oldie but goodies? Can you give me the ins and outs, the pros the cons etc etc. Real close to pulling the trigger on one.
People, ask me all the time, if I had a hundred grand to spend which equipment would I buy? I say for that money I would Buy Six CH 1's a few "Ovals",and I would become "king" of low cost 10 color and under work, with good capacity. With paid off machines!

Winston: This is a very insightful response, proving that not everything shiny and new is always the best choice, and it confirms that the best advice for any equipment buyer is to know thier market and production requirements.
On used machines, you had best know whom your dealing with, and do your homework!I do believe that buying new, has its advantages, and for most is probably the way to go!
I would really like to have a brand new press but I refuse to carry debt. I worked very hard to become debt free and have been for the past 5 years. With that thinking I either buy used or don't buy at all and keep plugging away printing manually.
