Hi, Thanks for the info, and we are considering a CP7, as if we are going to spend the money, we might as well go all the way and get the speed. However I have seen some video of them operating, but am yet to see one. What is the placement accuracy

Hi, Thanks for all the advice, and we are looking at everything we know of, but have not had much info back from anyone at Universal yet. We have been interested in their machines too and are going to go to a trade show before we decide. However I

Let's think about this, there former filed service engineers. I bet they got out of field becasue of being laid-off. Typically the NON-Performers are the first to go. Hint hint.....former field engineers! Quad 4C's when they were new to the marke

I would agree with the advice given by previous poster's. "Buyer Beware" is the rule of the day. Especially when dealing with 3rd. party brokers. Keep an eye out for some of the teir 1 EMS corp's auctions. You can pick up some excellent deals on we
