I have been using Adkins Presses for just over 20 years, only had one totally fail on me, and that over 15 years old ......
I do remember changing a thermostat, which was a bit of a chore, the main issue being calibrating the temperature control. This is no big deal for most transfere types, but is critical for WOW.
On the subject of presses, I have used others, and IMHO nothing compares with the quality, reliability, and consistancy of Adkins. We do many thousands of pressings per year, I have 3 Adkins, and seriously doubt that any cheap press is upto the work you can achieve with a good press. I should mention that much of our work is laser transfere which needs a lot more pressure than sub or vinyl.
