I just missed on a Prince Neos

[Lakers4Life]

A bit high, IMHO. $500-$600 is the going price for used Neos or Ektelon H. The Neos 1000 is a slightly newer machine and could go for $750-800.

If you were going to spend that much anyways, you're better off buying a Wise 2086 Pro with a Table Top adapter.

Would I be happier with a Wise tension head instead of trying to trade for a crank? Is the Wise really a bit faster and more accurate ?

I think they have a Gamma adaptor that will allow one to be mounted. I would lose 360 degree rotation, but I would keep my swivel clamps and 6 pt mounting.

I think I suggested that 20 posts ago. Oh Wait, I did.

After having my combo 910 awhile and just deciding I wanted something nicer to use, I said screw it and bought new again.

Can't say i regret it at all, although if I'd have easily found a nice used rig I would have done that too. Already used my warranty in short order and got great customer service.
Gamma, btw.

Down the road, perhaps a Wise although the Herb stories are abit troubling. I reckon if I dealt easily enough with Victor, maybe Herb will be a cakewalk?

I have a used Ektelon Model H I might be getting rid of. Stay tuned in the next few weeks. The Ektelons are higher quality than the Prince models IMO. They were built in the USA and the build quality is superior. Everything still works perfectly and cosmetically it still looks great. Only thing I have had to do is replace the clamps, and the riser pads every now and then. I have taken care of the machine and maintained it. If people do that with these machines, they will last a lifetime. I have only had to calibrate it once....ever.

If you sell it, do it in the right forum, please.

My post was not a classified ad. It was a testament to how well these machines are made and last.
