Main Board Replacement

[Reza Faezi]

Try Spandex, our main board went back in January, it arrived the next day, and was surprisingly cheaper than our usual Mutoh parts suppliers

don’t think i have ever heard that about spandex before hope its a new thing from them.

Thanks Reza, will give them a try

[Reza Faezi]

I was as surprised as you are Chris. We were just about to purchase from Digiprint when someone suggested Spandex. We actually bought a motherboard, CR cables and a print head as the engineer would not come unless we had all three parts. And what was even better was that Spandex would allow us to return any parts we didn’t need (which no other parts supplier would do) which worked out great as we didn’t need the motherboard in the end 😀

As a matter of interest how much did the main board and head cost. My machine is almost 4 years old I think it could do with a spruce up.

£1134.74 , that was the motherboard for our 1604, not sure if the 1204 is the exact same or not

Floyd, for a possible supplier closer to Zimbabwe, try this lot:

Company : NATIONAL SCREEN AND DIGITAL SUPPLIES
Telephone : CT (+27 21) 551 3300 JHB (+27 11) 624 2642 DBN (+27 31) 569 1049

Maybe the Zim Secret Police thinks it is spy-equipment to "subject da bruthas to oppression" if you try and import from the Queen’s Island….. 😉

Hahahha lol. We laughing like it’s a joke but you probably right, better not say too much they probable tapping me now. My agent is MIPS it’s who I bought the machine from but they’re charging me $2100 which I think is abit much. I’ll give these other guys a try. Thanks for that.
