Digital BW, The Print

I think you are right Ernst and I always appreciate all your
experience too . I will most likely pass on this machine and go for a
used 9600 in the future for the large K7, which was my first inclination.

Always having something mechanically unresolved just makes me
restless, especially with my quite minimal level of engineering
expertise. But I'll take a look at it anyway. Just disposing of
something that big if it turns out to be a giant paper weight is an
issue in itself. I have a friend who continues to do beautiful Piezo
Tone on an old 9000 and others who do larger volume who have had
nothing but continual nightmares with them mechanically. I'm always
ambivilent about this kind of thing - money vs time...
