Title: Machine transportation
Post by: Chris on November 08, 2010, 07:14:10 pm
Is it ok to lay a machine down for transportation?  I've heard it's not. I need to move it from GA to FL in the back of a pickup would that hurt it?

Not a problem at all, but just let it set upright for 24 hours before plugging it in.

Scott,

If you take this machine apart, are you willing to part with the Sold-out lever and cap catcher? I have been looking for these parts to complete my V80.

Thanks,

Glen

Jim:    I'm in Jacksonville.

Glen: I don't think I'm gonna part with this machine. It's all original and is in great condition. See pics below... I will keep my eyes open for you beacuse i may be looking for some spare parts for me also.

Very nice - congratulations......I know there is a V80 for sale out in the Lake City or Macclenny  area...may have the parts you need. I will look for the post - thought it was on Craigslist
