Bogen Press?

[Phoneguy]

Can anyone give me any information on a Bogen Press, model 560. One has just turned up locally at what I believe is a reasonable price. I have emailed the seller for more information but am hoping to get more "observations" from the experts. I would also appreciate a balpark idea what I should pay for it. Currently the only mounting I do (and that is reluctantly) is spray mounting....Let er rip..

Thanks in advance

James

That name brings up a distant memory (like Pagan Pink Ripple.)

I don't know if you could get parts, like a thermostat, if needed.

I have found out that Bogan and technal go together. IE Bogan Technal press. The pictures show the thing in its original box still. It looks "lightly used".

Have tried looking for it on eBay?

You might find out what it would approx. cost.

I've used a Technal 500 (? on the #) for 18 yrs or so, and I got the thing used. The platen size is 12x15 and I used it just yesterday to dry mount a print that was 26x78--tooo long to fit in the vacuum press.

It's tiny enough to store on a shelf until needed, and it has come in handy on many occassions. It was the only press I had the first 3 or 4 years I was in business. Temp has been accurate.

OK so they say that the press is 27" x 27" x 5". 7 - 8 years old. I assume this is the outside dimensions of the press. Includes the tacking iron for $350.00 Can. They also have a partially used roll of colourmount and a partial roll of release for $30.00. Currently owned by an architectural firm, they claim lightly used and well maintained. Any more comments?

Thanks
