A good step up for sure, you will love it. We run a '94 6/8 almost everyday (it's our #2 press) and it just keeps on working (with a little loving care of course)

Yup this one came in great shape.
Actually did good on the other press, insurance payed out and I just sold it last Friday and kept the flash.

At least you have the comfort level knowing the press was gone through by M&R, not to mention they got the crating thing down

The GTS was an elegantly simple design. You have some simple individual head controls which of course speeds setup. It is very easy to work on when necessary. Drawbacks....probably no stroke proxes, and that one design flaw where the squeegee rests in the down position.
This makes a real good case for a good used machine at a great price that can pay for itself in a couple of months.

I did see a sensor on each head. Looks like a stroke prox to me.

Yes it is after all. Bonus. Front may be permanent but that shouldn't matter. Ours is a fixed stroke but it doesn't matter. Its still as fast as all get out. Try dry running it and keeping up with loading at zero dwell and get back to us. This is a designated discharge press for us........doesn't even have a flash

I believe there is a retro fit part to allow rear  stroke adjustment. Seems like Dan Goldberg is who I talked to years ago when I got a few. We sold our Gauntlet years ago, but she's still running strong every day in a friend's shop. Has to be twenty years old now. I miss her.

I built a storage shed with the leftover lumber from the crating of my diamondback.  True story.

nope. No kidding here. Which crate style do you prefer, first or second one?
