I had a buddy who did flawless hand lettering with the DTs.

I spent years cutting Ruby lith. This should work this time.

The caps seem to be in pretty good shape but I'll probably do it your way the next time. If my cutter wasn't down I'd do it that way. As is they're 20" San Serif letters 20 feet up with simple curves. An exacto, a steel French curve and going slow will have to do.

FedEx has been a disaster since last summer. Every other shipment has an issue.

True but there are also a lot of municipalities and schools that are required to auction equipment once their service contract gets too expensive or if they upgrade. I've picked up some very nice copiers that were only 2 years old for cheap.

I passed. It wound up going for $350

I'm looking at getting a buying a Mutoh 1624 Valuejet at auction. I expect to have to put $1000 or so into it. Any advice besides "Don't do it you fool!"?
