Well, I'm headed back to school and my reliable old Gerber Plotter has to go. I've had it since 1995 but retired from the biz shortly after to go back to teaching so I have used it only once or twice a year since then. It's a 30" Gerber s750. It has an interface system (made by anagraph)that allows it to plug directly into your computer via the ISA slot. I had the board upgraded and it runs great on windows (I've used it on win 98, 95 and 3.1, it always works fine). It's a great plotter, will cut anything, vinyl, reflectives, sandblast stencil. It's sprocket feed but also has rollers that convert it to friction feed. Personally I prefer the spocket... load it, set the weight as heavy as you need it, start it then let it do it's thing.... great tracking! There are piles of extras, a good pounce wheel attachment, pen plotter, a dozen spare gerber blades ( it's a tangential knife system so the blades new are around $20 each). There is also a turbo blade but it needs a new insert ( I never use it ) I even have some 30" material to go with it ( mostly scotchcal vinyl and anchor stencil... not alot but it's a good start).

$2000 US$ includes shipping to your door

There's more...

I use Anagraph DesignArt PRO version 3.5, it's great and I'll include it with the disks, manuals and security dongle for an additional $200

If you need a machine to cut the heavy stuff, make those wide format jobs or just have a reliable old unit for whatever you need this may be what you want.

I can send some pics, let me know if you're interested.
