These are the same ones I linked to earlier - failed to sell an now relisted
Looks like these don't have feeders, unlike the one that just sold for £1600.

What do people think of the paste printer they have for sale? Reckon it's a bit overkill for a few panels. More for proper production runs? Ironic that it's cheaper than manual paste screen printers.

Printer is surely worth it for the adjustment table alone, its a popular old model, I think 2 companies still refurb and up-spec them.

I was thinking the stencils might be expensive to get made for it and it takes up a lot of room. But it does look the business with the vision system to it

I went to the site where the RV4s machines are. I managed to buy an oven and the machines were still there. They actually come with feeders which was not shown in the original pictures. The feeders all looked to be very clean and in good condition. They will not sell the feeders separately and will split the feeders evenly between the two machines. They said they had some offers but not really sure as they would have sold them I reckon. I think someone could offer 1k and get a machine with feeders.

Sorry I did not take pics. only thought about it afterwards.
