I just encountered a local add for a 29"x17" 30W trotec speedy II 2004 in what looks like good-great condition for 6000 dollars. It has a problem with the repeatability of the positioning that must be addressed by the trotec service department. It is being sold as is.
I have some general questions about the machine and I couldn't find much information about it on the internet. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on some of these questions.
Heres some of my questions.
What can a new machine do that this machine cannot?
What interface does it use? USB, Parallel Port, Ethernet
How much Z travel does it have?
Pass through Front or Back?
Can it run the latest firmware?
Would this be a good deal on a starter machine for a business?
Does anyone know this problem and how much would it cost to fix?
Is this too old of a machine to start with?
Is it even a good machine?
Part of me thinks this could be a great buy for its large size and functionality. Part of me thinks it is a bust and not worth the gamble because it needs a repair and it outdated. Any owners past or present of this model would be greatly appreciated as well as any other comments.
