Title: M&R Diamondback 6/8, 2008
Post by: Mr Tees!! on February 19, 2019, 07:34:30 PM

   Press installed new Semptember 2008, I am the original owner. Press count sits currently at approx 640k. Well maintained, lubed regularly. A few slightly hissy airlocks, which is an easy repair if needed. Includes adult pallets and squeegees with rubber. Pics attached with more available on request. Video of the press running is available HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dg-FqRyq_zA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dg-FqRyq_zA)

...asking $12,500. Located in Augusta GA, at the GA/SC state line. This press can be moved in a small box truck disassembled, and I have seen these moved intact and assembled on a flatbed towtruck. Crating and shipping, if needed, are buyers responsibility. We can disassemble if needed. THX!!

...sup, Homie! Yeah, we found a 9/10 DB the next town over and grabbed it up. Two flashes now should help speed things up a bit around here!

Sold, sorry.  Picked up just this past weekend, on its way to a new home in CO!

Mr Tees!!

Lots of impressions on that old Diamond making plenty of money. You weren't interested in going servo heads on a new press to speed things up?

...would I have LIKED to have a shiny new servo press? Of course!  ;D

...the issue forus here is certain limitations. Our building has no 3ph power, and we are close to maxed out on the current panel anyway. Resolving either of those issues would require a several $K investment into a building which we do not own.

...Additionally, the press we got, while being a 10-year old air-machine, was the best plug-and-play upgrade we could make, without making those upgrades to the building and/or compressor. Its an 8/10, with the optional ninth head. We already had a backup flash unit to incorporate as a second flash. Most importantly, the machine was only 20 minutes up the road from us, so I was able to drive over, disassemble and relocate the machine myself, saving shipping/crating/disassembly costs, which can be substantial.
