    Description

    Please send reasonable offers for me to consider.
    I purchased this book machine from a University Library a about 2 years ago. Since then it has been stored in my heated and insulated garage awaiting repair.  I have recently decided to let this very rare machine be sold in hopes that someone will fix and use it. I can not offer any training or other tech information on this unit.
    This unit could be great for  parts or fix it and print books to sell.
    When I purchased this unit I was told that it would require a new glue roller assembly to be installed. The glue unit is currently uninstalled, awaiting repairs to be made by its new owners.
    T
    his book machine is sold as-is, for parts, with no returns or guarantee of any kind.
    The system was being used at the BYU library up until the glue roller failed.
    The pictures are of the actual machine. The only difference is that the Plexiglas covers are not installed right now and the glue roller has been removed. I was informed that the parts would be about 00-3000 to fix it. I can't guarantee that, that is the only issue with the machine.
    Thing I know the machine needs:
    1. a copy machine that will print the book.
    2. a cover printer
    3. a glue roller Assembly
    4. It was first used in October 2009
    I don't know what else it needs - hence the sold as-is for parts -
    This is a local pick up only auction. However, if you are truly interested in this unit, please don't hesitate to send an email to discuss getting it ready for freight pickup if needed (extra cost will apply for getting it ready to send out via freight)
