    Hi I dont really know what they ar called but i have a valuejet 1204 that i bought 2nd user the wee machine is great and is pumping out everything thats asked of it, the only thing is it has a built in take up reel that is working fine but it is missing the plastic bits you slide into the roll core to keep it steady and have it on a roll when finished.. ive spoke to mutoh and they got an engineer to call me but he didnt know what the parts where??? i even keep an eye on ebay etc for a machine for parts etc, does anyone know where to get these or an alternative

    thanks
    John

    something that crops up so often in my mind is where to get replacement parts like that from.

    Take up reel end stops.

    Very similar to the mimaki ones those

    Different Mutoh machine but on mine they are called a movable media stop and a fixed scroller flange. The bit that fits on to allow 3" cores to fit is just an adaptor.
