Title: Newman frames have arrived!!!!
Post by: Denis Kolar on May 25, 2012, 07:14:52 PM
I'm was stoked when I opened the boxes. I just got these in the mail today. Really good deal and they came with locking strips.
Frames were used maybe 10 times max, almost brand new. If someone is interested, let me know and I can get you in contact with the seller. He has about 40-50 left.

They bought a bunch of new ones and ended up buying an auto shortly afterwards.

I'll try to get him to join the board too.

I can wait to stretch them next week.

I am anxious to hear how the transition to the rollers go.  I got some just like that in a shop buyout and have never used them!

I bought Shurloc eCon panels and I will be building myself a stretching table.
That should be much easier that just a bolt mesh and locking strips. I'm hoping for 3-4 minutes per screen.
I'll let you know and you could stop by to see the set-up when in Strongsville.

Yup. Looks like fun.  I actually enjoyed learning the proper way to tension a screen. It's a little tricky at first. Great results tho.

I just got my first set of chemicals in to reclaim my screens and what not. Small order of supplies, but I'm stoked to do something soon.

Congrats! Welcome to better prints with one stroke and less ink down. Just keep them up to tension!

Yup, 18x20.
Manual machine here. I got screens here, and I have 8 more coming from another person. Even newer than these and a bit cheaper. I was going to get 15 only, but I could not pass on the deal.
Other ones are newer that these, and 4 of them came with new 305 mesh.  Got 8 of them for $170 shipped to my door. Can not beat that.

These on picture were a bit more, but also a great deal due to the condition of them.

Fair deal , 2nd hand manual newmans should about 20 bucks ea. and auto frames 25 - 30 ea. . Gunked up ones  15 ea. manual and 20 bucks auto . Anything higher than that and I'll pass. 

Something new in the shop always makes for a fun day at work and lifts the spirt. Now finding the motivation to remesh them is another thing lol.

You got the good ones too. the blue ones! The newer unpainted ones with the black bolts strip out.

The blue powder-coated and blue anodized frames are the best Newman made IMHO.

I went to ISS Columbus and took Charlie Taublieb's class where he stretched one on Accelerator table. I will built something similar and should be a breeze.
At least I hope :)

Agree 100%.  The powder coated ones especially are a tad heavier (not UL) but I think they're easier to level and very durable.

Got my last batch of dirty 23x31 MZX's for under ten bucks a pop.   :P
