could prolly start out with something fairly inexpensive- but doing stuff like all kinds of gear (covers, plates, plexi's), different substrates and stuff- you would want something a little more sophisticated.

here we can start with one color end plates:

hehehe

http://cgi.ebay.com/Professional-Silk-S ... _500wt_975

but you guys just have to understand what all is involved... each screen would only be good for one art work
275 end plate(S)
outlaw cover
m44 cover
m100 cover
430 plates (S)
list goes on and on... and it adds up real quick

that ink pictured i bet is only for textiles... so ink is also something to take into consideration... the registration and how to set that up for these odd ball shapes and sizes of thing... to SS an outlaw cover for example you need like a 31" x 9" frame and mesh to fit.

IYAM- i would start off with M-series stuff... Outlaws, 66's, M100-44-25-50- as alot of that art work is like once you got one done- its cake making up the rest

I have a number of MS series gear artwork all ready to boot-

see sample here- and yes in vector- just jpg for viewing on web

but that there took like weeks for me to finally finish

and thats 4-color

so that end plate needs 4 screens

I'm sure i not saying anything you guys dont know

but for one set of end plates you need like 4-5 screens!!!

I think defacing this Outlaw would be a pretty bad idea. Yes it has a dent, but it looks just fine if you ask me. With it fixed up and working it would be great for someone to actually install and use. Recoating it or hacking a hole in it would bring its value down to zero.

Yes, chances are the guy installed it poorly, but at this point we can't be certain.

Matt sent me a M44 to work on. I hooked it up first to figure out what worked and what did not. Even with a current limiting light bulb installed in the B+ line the caps still started smoking from the leaking fluid underneath. If I had left it on it would have caught fire. I am 100% confident someone could have used a 20A fuse on this Outlaw and it still will would have caught on fire without ever blowing the fuse.

What is wrong with the M100 side? Same thing, burned board?

OT: Some old school skateboards had up to 30 silk screen layers

I was more shocked by the smell of that outlaw than the burnt boards. I just hope you all can get that amp working again. They are awesome.

m100 side is just as bad as the m50 really...looks like the board split and swelled up....

curious, did you drive to puyallup wa to get this?

there was a seller here in wa from puyallup that had one of these that he was claiming needed repair that it was only 150.00 or so from PG to get fixed.

WTF did the seller do to this thing? Arc wield with it?

Hope you can ger her fixed up. Hell of an amplifier!

Yes sir, I drove up and got a few items from the guy. I suspect this is the result of a piss poor unfused install

It grounded out...new boards and some work and she'll run again

Visions of amp screens and a ton of phorum shirts!!! We have the as seen on tv stores here...generally pretty retarded shit but may be worth looking into...

^^^ oh shit I see potential here!!!!

Looks to me (and i am at work so cant listen to the demos) but looks like some possibilities there for artwork

BUT perhaps we would be limited to the size of things- but maybe they have different size platforms or could do in "pieces" but doing in pieces will stand risks of miss-alignments

BUT if it is a 17 x 11 Platen- then we would be good for most (if not all) smaller bits and pieces- (!)

INTERESTING

we need one to fall off a truck somewhere

ANYONE have idea of coat of this unit?

I am extremely interested to learn/know more though and maybe at least get ball rolling with this and just some black ink screening work

I think I saw similar units at micheals crafts last weekend when I was checkin out vinyl cutters. They had info and pamphlets there, suprised no on else had thought about it as it has been on a few infomercials about it already.

I have been thinking about some small businesses that I could do out of my basement since I am now declairing disability. I would be willing to get it and and have the time to work with it if there is enough interest. I know we have had enough people doing their own stuff here that it could be something worth starting.
