I'd install more of them any day.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-01-2006 06:54 PM                     quote: Daryl C.

I'd get an entire truckload of Century C's from Stata and rebuild them like new with Kelmar turrets. I did this 6 or 7 times... comming back through customs was a riot as none of the customs people wanted to touch all the greasy old machinery... apparently they must have to supply their own uniforms. That looked at one made in New York Century label ans sent me on my merry way. All of them are still running and the customers running them report that they are still the best running machines in their chains. Gord, We got them as take aways so If you have a justifiable use for them they might even be free...... They are not economically converted to 4 perf. All the internal gearing and vert. shaft are different. The 8 sided star makes a nice paperweight though.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

I can't remember anymore, we've had them for a looooong time.  |  IP: Logged
