I have 9x boxes of these (567,000 labels!) for sale - dirt cheap, $150 plus shipping. These are going to be tossed if no interest within a month or so.
Promach ID Technology brand, 3x1", 14" OD rolls, non perf backing, thermal transfer. For large industrial labelers, we use Satos. We moved to a larger label and so I need to get rid of these.
Let me know if interested at all!

in another thread Evo posted a good source for the flame rods and spark plugs for the Sprint 2000. i bought two spark (one for each dryer) and one flame rod - lots cheaper than from M&R.
for some reason i have a bunch of failed electrical connectors on our SMC valves (Gauntlet 3 and Challenger 3 have them on the printheads) - i bought these to replace the connector instead of the whole valve: https://us.rs-online.com/product/smc-corporation/v111-5loz/70399581/
its $20 instead of $90
I believe Auburn is the manufacturer of the flame rods/spark plugs. Luckily they are used in HVAC so not super difficult to find.
The one thing I like about SMC valves is how modular they are. You can order every single individual part.
(which can actually make ordering the whole valve difficult) They even sell rebuild kits if you ask hard enough and wait 4 months for Japan to ship.
Odd on the electrical problem with the valves. We've had every other problem with them but not that one haha.
we moved the Gauntlet 3 to a new location and i think they just got bumped a bit. the challenger 3 was a used press - everything was covered in glue. the electrical connectors were damaged in shipment/setup/cleaning...

To some extent it makes sense, you are only going to sell so many actual machines.
A %50 premium for making it convenient is fine, %500 is not.
The weird thing is when their actual bespoke parts, weldments and whatnot, are surprisingly inexpensive.
If anyone needs assistance identifying/sourcing parts post them here. It's a hobby of mine at this point.
wouldn't mind ya starting a "sticky" thread on that. Parts are brutal to source sometimes.

Should add, some old PLC's will lose their entire program if the battery dies or if the battery is disconnected with the main power off.
Major ordeal, so look twice before you jump.
MnR well known for PLCs loosing the program! As eb said, make sure your press is on before you pull the battery out of the PLC! pj

Any PLC that needs to remember user settings will have one. It's usually under a door/cover near the CPU part of the PLC.
IE where the main model number is.

Ok, I'm going to ask. Where on your press is there a battery? I have a M&R Diamondback S and can't find any reference for where a battery might be hiding.
the servo amplifier and the PLC on our Gauntlets and challenger have a battery. i dont know about diamondbacks...
Yeah, my press is pretty basic. I crawled all over it with a flashlight after seeing this and haven't come across anything but lint and grease I should clean. Thank you :-)
