Would be my pick if I was putting a line together and was buying used. You should be paying around $35K-$40K and no more for such a machine. As far as grid-lock...........I'd probably toss that system in the garbage.

I am hoping someone (Cal) can tell me where to look to purchase a MicroSquare Endoscope. Or if someone can recommend a comparable unit, the ERSA is way out of budget, I would really appreciate it. I tried to post this in the related thread but it i

Depends on your printer. We have vacuum nests that make Grid Lock difficult to install. We also use the Gels on our placement equipment.
