Some days you just live right, other days the stars align JUST right, or in this case the Suns align just right. Last Tuesday my Dad called and said “finally” a Sun machine we had been bird dogging was finally for sale and he went and “secured” the machine with the pick up day today. I was told a day or two later it was TWO Sun machines. I told my Dad, that was crazy as a Sun machine cabinet popped up on Facebook market place last weekend for sale. He said both machines had cabinets SO I let the one on Facebook slide. Picked up both Suns today and lo and behold only one cabinet and it’s rough looking…..Fortunately to one on Facebook marketplace was STILL there and in much much nicer shape SO I hot footed over and snagged the other cabinet SO now IN my shop I have two new additions and the SUN will never set on me again!!!!!

Very nice find(s)! I have an Allen Syncrograph machine that I need to restore.

Yes, I "actually" bought that about 6/7 years ago, at least, in anticipation of "hopefully" getting a machine at some point.

Nice! Congrats on your acquisitions.

Sweet score!

Make sure the one you use is calibrated.

Seth Swoboda · 03-25-2024, 10:35 AM

I'd like one of these machines too. I would need someone to train me on how to use one. Someday I'll figure this out.
