Got it couple of years ago from APUGer here, but not used at all.
Personal pickup only - this monster is over 100kg (you need 3-4 strong men for transport).

Here is one picture from the web - if there will be someone who is interested - I will make some pictures of the actual item.
300 euros.

Assuming this one is working and you're looking for a mounting press of this size, don't let the weight scare you off.

I recently had the opportunity to pick up an old Ademco 2226 (22"x26") - 330 lb of steel that ended up sitting in my garage for a year because cause we couldn't figure out how to get 4 men up the narrow stairs and through the door, carrying this monster. Part (most) of the problem is weight but it's also fairly unwieldy and difficult to get a good hold on.

In the end, I moved it by myself (I'm 68). Turns out the unit breaks down fairly readily to four components (wheel, top plate, bottom plate and frame) that are manageable and the wiring has connectors. I wanted to put a new cable on it anyway so it worked out fine. Most of the weight was in the frame but I used a dolly for that. It's working great and let me get started in mounting my own prints fairly inexpensively.

Hope this was helpful
Regards
Dave

Hi Dahod, I'm in a similar boat now, but with the smaller 2125 model. I'm curios to how you were able to remove the wheel/screw from the main body. Could you please let me know how you went about it? I'm hopeful the steps will work for my machine. (If anyone else has a clue, I would be most appreciative!)

I've stripped my down and have noted a retaining plug which is attached to the bottom of the screw. From what I gather, there is a hex retaining screw which fixes the plug to the bottom of the main screw. If I understand correctly, the removal of this will allow the thrust bearing and cover plate to be removed from the bottom of the main screw. Then it should be a simple task to remove the screw from the top of the main body. In this scenario the hand wheel will still be attached to the screw.

Hi there

I left the feed thread in the body and lowered as much as reasonable for transport but took off the hand wheel. On mine, there was a small aluminum cap covering the centre of the wheel. Popping that off exposed a nut that I could remove to take the handle off.

All the best
Dave
