Heated Vacuum Press spare
Posted: Wed 29 Apr, 2009 5:16 pm
I have an ancient Ademco heated vacuum press which I no longer need.
I bought it a few years ago on eBay and it's served me well though it's recently started acting up. Sometimes it just won't pull a vacuum. Most days it's absolutely fine. I suspect the problem is just that the lid needs adjusting - maybe the hinges are a bit loose - but I just don't feel inclined to spend the time it would take to sort it out. Once it starts to pull a vacuum then it's absolutely fine and easily reaches 26 "Hg pressure. It has a pair of vacuum pumps that (I believe) are only a few years old.
Anyway, I've had my money's worth from it - it cost me about £200 so it's free to a good home.
The downside is that it will need collecting and it absolutely must go next week - otherwise it goes to the tip. The overall measurements are 45 x 54 x 9 inches and it's very heavy. So it needs a fair sized vehicle.
And it's in the middle of Wales.
