[HangingInThere]

Gotta be some kinda record...or somethin' :llama:

[paidfor]

well, I was quite surprised myself. within just a few min, someone had already called and setup a payment and pickup time.:)

Na na na na na na !!!Yea it was me.Trying to retrofit my counter and stand ,so that I can at least pull some liner through it.375.00 ,old model but brand new,in the box.Anything I should know about it or tips.The stand at the convention was over 500.00,had to pass for the time being

It's the same as mine, the only problems I've had was the chain on the drain plug broke, and sometimes the paste "skips" a little, so I just sort of slide the paper a little when booking. Just today, one of the rear hooks (that keep it from sliding forward when you pull sheets) broke, looks like the weld failed, but I can't complain after 7 years, I guess. Watch out on wide materials, the gears are internal and will chew your edges if you're not careful. You paid a lot less than I did!

I thought I posted this before work, but something must've happened. Weird....

Anyway, I'd also like a Tapo stand, but for $500 I can't imagine I'll want to spend that much. Someone on APN mentioned that the Black & Decker Workmate was the perfect machine stand if you have one. Well, I have one and it does work fantastic.

It got even better when I bought the tapo swivel stand and attached the machine to it. Mine is a pretty solid model Workmate, though, which makes this thing heavy and not always worth using on smaller jobs.

Guy, the Tapo counter is a thing of beauty. I'd save my pennies for one if I were you. I was very tempted to buy this machine. I asked Sig if they had any more and he told me they were about $700 now. You got a great deal brother!

Guy or Jeff, I have the Tapo stand to fit that machine. Its the blue hammered-metal look with a built in swivel. I never use it. Interested?
If so, I can take some pictures next time I'm in my shop.

[Jeff Evans]

Yeah, I'm interested. Take a pic or two and send them to me.

good pick up Guy...I love mine, but like Jeff , I would suggest the counter.:thumbup:

Tim , do you have the stand or the swivel?

[Chris Nelson]

And for you, pretty inexpensive!:roflmao:

The stand and swivel are one (I think).

I had no idea. Then I bought another one when I bought my Tapo 40. Truth is, Tapo equipment is expensive as dolars go, but it's all very well made and accurate. I owe you something for that one, Chris.:tiphat:

[gadams]

It is the exact same counter(made in Germany) that came with my 62" pastemaster back in 95 or 96, so I will try to knock the hinge pin out and add a new mount for the Tapo. I figure it will work for liner at least and a few other things maybe .I have used a machine(my 40" pastemaster) once in the past three years ,for a good size grasscloth job.As Jeff says ,kinda got away from it, hand pasting everthing ,maybe not the fastest way but the surefire cleanest.

[Chris Murphy]

maybe not the fastest way but the surefire cleanest.

Guy!! I don't believe it! A machine isn't always the way to go??!! Next thing you know, you'll be advocating table trimming and pastes other than 'clear'!

[gadams]

For the last four or five years I have had the luxury of a table/paste man although I am always yanking roller out of their hand to show them again how I want it pasted.I might even give this thing to Buddy.I can't stand it if a drop of paste gets on the face .Don't really want to touch any of it with a sponge if I can help it.What can't you believe?Hey,how does that Clay/wheat mix work on Designer Guild .Oh nevermind ,clear/wheat will work:D. I always table trim, unless an opportunity for Steve's pads

[Chris Murphy]

What can't you believe?

Man, all you GA guys are testy right now, aren't you? I was being facetious! I look for opportunities to use a machine, and I still don't get it out but maybe 4 times a year. I don't like washing either, except my clothes (gotta keep them whites, white!).
Just act like your from Alabama, and all will be well.

[gadams]

Didn't take it seriously bro..Go Jackets.

[Chris Murphy]

Hey,how does that Clay/wheat mix work on Designer Guild .

Magnifique! You bring your Antiques Roadshow-worthy table, trestles & straightedge, and I'll bring the paste. Got any of the paper- even off cuts- you can bring too? I about emptied my storage space, thank the Almighty and needy paperhangers.

We're already taliking about our 'next subjects' for demo: English/plain papers may be on the list, screen prints also. We ain't got it together, we bring it together!

Next ATL meeting: Oct. 7. Rub shoulders with the members of the MVC (Most Valuable Chapter). It is true we aren't the "best" chapter (I guess). Eli Manning wasn't the best quarterback; you know how that played out.

We meet the first Tues. of every month, usually at the Chamblee-Dunwoody Duron at 5:30 PM (remember that I-285 backs up early; use back roads or come early, or both- check out Starbucks or Goldbergs if early). Stock up on supplies, stay for the meeting, have (free!) dinner at Garcia's restaurant after; bring the papers you've hung lately for show-and-tell.

There's a reason ATL is MVC: come check it out! Be a part of the greatest working collaboration in the paperhanging nation!
