Plotter - UK
Hi Dave,
I'm very interested, and happy to pay for packing and airfreight to
Australia.
Also had one other query. I will now keep things private...
Also something for the unit. Do you happen to have
originals of the
manuals, or
just the digital ones you've posted?
I don't think I have any paper manuals.
Do you have a 'pack and ship' company nearby, who could do a safe packing
using foam-in-place, or soft foam block padding, then send by airfreight
to
Sydney Australia?
I should have said the plotter came to me from France packed in expanded
foam. I think I may still have the packing.. I will check and report back...
I'm fully aware of the costs, having recently had
a HP 7586B pedestal
plotter
sent from San Francisco in a big wooden crate (vial
PCL sea freight) and a
20'
shipping container full of thousands of service
manuals arriving by sea
form the
USA in a few days.
OK I have shipped an IBM 3174 screen controller to Europe, and a E-Prom
programmer to the USA so I may also be reasonably experienced...
If you'll pass the photo plotter on to me, please reply via private email.
Ok let me talk privately...
Kind regards,
Guy
Dave
