I am looking to sell my 4 color 8 station American Rototex automatic press. I bought this press last fall with the intentions to do a complete restoration and add two additional heads to make it a 6 color press. We started with the electrics and went through every wire with the schematic and made sure everything was functioning properly. the heads were taken off and each screen mounting bracket, micros, etc were all bead blasted, primed and painted flat black. Each of the major components were sanded down with a DA and primed and epoxy coated to the original color. this included the main frame of the base, all the cover panels, the motor covers etc. They have all been clear coated as well. The things that are needed at this point are several micro switches that are sticking due to years of spray tack. Each rubber motor mount should be replaced, 16 total. I have 3 set of squeegee holders and flood bars. The former owner claims he has the 4th set but has not sent them to me yet. Below are the parts that I wanted to replace before putting it back into production.
8 Micro Switches @ $12.50 ea ($100)
8 rubber motor mounts $5.97 ea ($47.76)
6 chain guide springs $3.26 ea ($19.56)
8 registration stickers $3.00 ea ($24.00)
1 red LED $6.58
1 chrome button cap $3.82
Here are a few pics of the process. I will snap some overall pics tomorrow.

Open to any offer. Bought a new building and just can't fit this in with my current set up. Would entertain trades.

Someone make me an offer and come and get it! I just don't have the time to take the effort to prepare this thing for a shipping company..... So you must be able to come and take it away! I have a source for the extra two heads t make it a 6 color!
