I don't usually make expensive second hand purchases but thought i'd be ok with an Adkins that was about 5 years old. Set it up and it started showing 'heat fault' within two days. Adkins have suggested a service (£250+vat) and possibly a new controller (£109+vat) and carriage £60. Press cost £600.
I've asked the seller if I can return the press but not sure if he'll take it back (haven't looked into ebay/paypal refund policies, will do that later).
Has anyone had a similar problem?
Thanks
