101LEDs 100 Posted August 26, 2014 Found this for sale and figured I would ask how old, whats it worth, good-bad-barrel of monkeys? A guy bought it as part of a package deal (to get some printers)at a sign shop that was going under and has no use for it. It needs a power switch but does work. Nothing else is included, cutter only. It is at least 3 years old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

101LEDs 100 Posted August 26, 2014 Thanks for the info. What is a good price for it as it is? Are parts hard to get? The switch is no trouble, we have access to over 10k styles, one will be a match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted August 26, 2014 You would have to contact Graphtec Tech support on possible parts.... Make sure you cut something detailed with it, to make sure it cuts good.... Your welcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted August 26, 2014 just put a switch in it and get cutting - I would sell one like that for about $6-700 when fixed, cleaned, new cut strip and dialed in. that is with a stand . . . couple years ago that one would have brought 800+. like I said it is basically a blue ce5000. they changed the blade holder clamp from that clamp style on that one to one that traps the ridge around the top - really one is as good as the other. you got a good cutter there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
