I found a complete system for sale. Assuming it is in good working condition whats it worth? Are the controls for manually moving the vinyl and cutter head on the console or the cutter itself? Is it loud like an Envision? Thanks!

I'd chuck the monitor, & hook the plotter to a pc via a lmt card. Those plotters were pretty good.

I've had one running every day for 13 years - they're very reliable and with the sprocket feed, don't require baby-sitting. The plotter controls are on the console, and you'll need a link card to attach it to a PC. I would expect the price for one in good working condition to cost between $800 and $1600, depending on condition and whether it has a link card. Hope this helps.

They're nice and fast. You can use them for cutting Edge graphics with no problems.
Also, they're actually quieter than the Envision and Sonny's in the right price range.

I don't know about the pricing in the US, they are not worth much over here, unless you own one of course [Smile] . I have a Sprint 2, I nearly retired it when I bought my SummaPro T-series, glad I didn't, I use it for contour cutting all my Edge stuff, its never given me any problems, I have it hooked up to the PC using an LMK module from Gerber, it also drives a backup S750 plotter, via a switchbox.
