Hello Richard,
Thank you very much for the offer, I appreciate it. It is a good price.
However, after checking out the total cost per machine, it doesn’t pay for me. These projectors are in perfect working condition, clean throughout and don’t need any service.
In essence, I will be paying $115 per machine for a belt change, that is $75 per for your service plus $40 for shipping in both directions. When I add the cost of the belts, $51.67 plus $4.95 shipping I come to a total of $172.62.
Actually I find your price of $75 per machine the only bargain in the deal as I find it very attractive.
I work on most of my machines but I don’t feel like tackling the Canon PS-1000 as I find the belting system so complex that I am sure most people that bought this machine had no way of changing the belts when they went bad and most likely dumped the units when they attempted to change the belts.
I used these projectors until the belts went bad. I am giving up on them and I will list them on eBay for $70 for parts or repair and I will offer them to forum members for $50 plus exact shipping.
On a side note, I have many projectors in need of repairs and perhaps we can talk about some of those. I simply don’t have the time to work on them myself and as time is money I have no problems farming them out.
I have so many projectors that I am thinking on disassembling some of them and selling the individual parts on my website.
So Richard, if you are interested in talking more about this you can send me a PM or contact me at jaddams55 at Hotmail dot com.
Again, thank you for the offer.
Regards,
