Up for sale is a 1994 M&R Guantlet revolver 8 color 10 station.
I don't know how many imprints the press has, millions. It isn't really a relevant number anyway.
We purchased this press in 2012 I believe, and ran it until October of 2017. It was our first auto. We took it out of production when we purchased a new press to replace it.
We intended to keep using it as well so a lot of things were gone through since it was being moved anyway. We just never wound up putting it back to work because we had two other autos running, and didn't have anyone to work this press anyway.
The press was professionally installed, tuned up when we bought it. I maintained it after that.
The indexer was replaced not very long before the press was taken down.
The entire bank of mack valves that control the chopper cyliders (squeegee and flood bar pressure)was replaced right before the press was taken down.
A number of the mack valves for the stroke cylinders were replaced right before the press was taken down.
Both chopper cylinders and all air lines to head one were replaced.
A number of other parts were replaced as they went bad throughout the year. A lot of stroke cylinders, various valves and air hose connectors, even one of the lifting cylinders. We needed our presses turning, and every head working, so I always maintained it very well.
I believe everything is in working order at the moment.
The press will include one flash (with new heater control) and I believe a fairly new heating element. Plus an additional back up heating element, or if you want an entire additional omniflash. The additional one might need a new temperature controller due to being out in the weather.
Also included will be most of a set of adult platens. There are only 8 good platens and 2 with soft spots on one side from being over cooked.
Asking price is now only $5000.
I do have a new press coming around the end of the month and need to move another press to where this one is sitting, so it will be torn down in a few weeks. It is set up now. I will take video of the press running before tearing down.
Please call or text Ben at (775)412-7556 with any questions.

I do still have a number of weeks left, but I don't want to have to tear down and put into storage when the time comes.
I'm lowering the price to $6000 for a quick sale. I can tear down and crate, you pay shipping.
If you have an M&R tech set it up when it gets there you will have a great press that will run for another 24 years.

Just bring this back to the top after the weekend.

Price has been lowered to $5,000.
Press is cleaned up, works great, and ready to go.
I can tear down and palletize everything for shipment. Just need to arrange shipment. I can do that too and add the price of shipping on if you don't have a company you work with.
