Avoid the joystick reg at all cost. It is nothing but a pain in butt. When you print high tolerance prints it is a b@tch to dial in.

I've been to Alan's shop and played around with that Vastex... it's CLEAN!

Those MZX's are worth $400 alone even if you aren't going to use them... and trust me, those are clean as well.

ANYTHING in Alan's shop is clean.

A clean shop is an efficient shop! Well, it sounded good even though it really doesn't mean anything. Thanks for the comments Gilly, those frames are spotless for being 20 years old. Those screens were used to print on automotive type instrument panels so they had extremely high mesh counts, 355 to 420 and they look like they had never been reclaimed so there is no buildup of any kind other than dust. The vastex has had maybe 50 jobs printed on it in the 4 years we've had it because we use the auto for almost everything.
