You're correct Rob. If you go back any amount of time in this business like it sounds you have (and I know I have), it wasn't that long ago that companies like Philips and Seimens were way behind everyone else, (Fuji and Pana) when it came to buildin

Vinit- The name's Rick by the way. Probably best to stay in the new equipment business as your knowledge of used prices is a bit out of whack. First of all you could buy (2) CP4-1's new for what and FCM went for new. Second CP-4's are selling for ar
