  1. That was my first cutter many years ago also. They get problematic with age and parts are difficult to come by. It sounds like a sensor of some kind may be shot.

    Honestly - considering how slow and creaky that machine is - I would take a serious look at upgrading to a new cutter. ANY cutter. You'll wonder how you put up with that thing for so long.

    Gooday Rick, yep, eventually.

    I'm still not sure what actually fixed trhe pronblem but with some poking about under the top carriage cover I found the flat ribbon cable from the carriage to the PC board was very brittle.

    I had my local computer guy make up a new one for me and the problem mentioned dissappeared.

    Whether it was the cable of just pushing and shoving, I'll never know I guess.

    Since 'the fix', this machine has not missed a beat. I have no idea how many mtrs of vinyl I've put through it but it hasn't owed me anythging for a long time.

    YYZ, they are hard to get bits for, and if it has any serious unfixable problem, yep, I'll let it lay around and rest, while I upgrade to something a bit more flash.

    Noisy, slow, touchy, it does the job I ask of it so it stays till it's stuffed.

    Anyone else still running one of these ?

  2. Here in Oz it is illegal to advertise and sell at different prices.

    When the price increases the signage must be changed before the pumps and when the price decreases the pumps are changed before the signs.

    This way the actual price you pay for fuel is always the lower.

    Currently paying AUD$1.38 / litr

  3. Which ever machine you decide on must be supported by a team of people who are interested enough and able to keep you operating.

    If something goes wrong for any reason I would like to know the problem can be fixed quickly and locally.

    Research !

    Do lots of it. Most people here and on other forums have done exactly that before spending any $ on a machine.

    I found when looking around that any warranty hassles with the Creation would require the machine to be sent to the factory for work. IN CHINA, at my transport expence. I don't think so. This applies to Australia and may not be the case where you are. But find out before you pay the money.

    I ended up with a used PNC1000 and love it to death. I hope to upgrade after Xmas to a GX24. Why ? - features, Corel, easy to use, Corel, reputation, Corel, support, Corel, value for $, Corel, local distributor, Corel.

    My only decision is what software do I use with it.

    Decisions, decisions, ..... always decisions.

    You got it, theyr'e the ones.

    But they are lookin good for the future with all the new young blokes, just ask Eddy.

    I dont worry too much about them anymore. 15 years ago we found a local team who are incredible.

    Vermont Football Club won their game by 208 points last Saturday, thats 35 goals.

    Top of the ladder, undefeated for the season.

    More than happy to tell you all about them ........

    What do you know of Collingwood and Aussie Rules Footy?

  6. Hope Huey and the Gods settle down a little so you ppls can relax.

    Not a problem we have to worry too much about over here in Oz but we certainly feel for those who are affected.

    We have other serious things to concern us. Anyone heard of the Collingwood Football Club ?

  8. But apart from all that I've got my doubts about the guilt of Jackson, lots don't sit right with mum and the boys.

    I have now tuned out of the media coverage until the verdict is announced and then accept and hope that justice has been done whichever way it goes.

    I do also hope that whatever happens, he is treated as a person and allowed to get on with his life wether he is free or not.

    Ya know, somehow I don't think that will happen.

  9. The media is the same all over the world.

    Tits and bums will always dominate over poverty and hunger. We just don't want to know about that stuff.

    "Yeah of course I worry that people go hungry, but what time does the pizza place open" Sad.

    TV and newspapers all smell the same but we keep looking don't we. Yeah, sad.

  10. Gooday Erik

    Looks good with that new header.

    I like the new name and masthead heaps more than the original, seems to be more serious and has a stronger impact.

    Sometimes circumstances can work in your favour.

    Well done.

    Can I claim one of those email locations and how do I do it ?

  11. The Crimson room is driving me crazy - have got to the part where you play the guy dancing on the box but don't understand what he is pointing to?. I :banana: have an empty CD case three keys and the power cord which plugged into the cd player and all the items to operate the box. Please what am I missing and where is it hidden??????

    Thanks in advance

  12. Research requires reading and research, just read the imfomation and you can sort the details into good or bad.

    Letterville has an odd set up for registation I think, Perhaps they just want to sort out those that are serious and those that are not.

    I registered and it took me 3 weeks and many emails to be able to log on.

    I eventually got some result when I asked the moderators if they could log in in with my details from their end. Guess what, they couldnt, and it took them 3 weeks to find out.

    They sent me back a replacement password and now all is fine.

    Use the email contacts and ask Steve or Barb to sort the problem for you, they are busy but eventually they will help.

  13. Hey,thanks Lance,could you please so kind tell me more?

    what about the price and quality?

    have you used before?

    Gooday again Jet.

    I am afraid I cannot tell you anything about the "Eyeone" but I am sure you can find any imformation you require through a Google search.

    Now Google, that I can explain if you don't know anything about it.

    You may also get some details from an Amazon search as well.

    Spend some quality time with your favorite, friendly search engine and you may be surprised what you can find out.

    I have never used this program so I cannot be much help, sorry.

    Best
