Are you planning on replacing the red heat rollers? You need to know they are around 500 bucks each new from GBC:( you should be able to buy a brand new ultimate 65 for 1500 bucks or less.
GBC makes good machines but the parts and service
prices are unreal:( A contact in california near LA reported GBCs first hour service call charge was 500 bucks, more as you get futher from LA. Around pittsburgh the first hour rate is $317 bucks.
Even a 6 buck circuit breaker on a GBC ultimate 65 is $49.00 from GBC........
What you might be able to do, if you have a old scrap ultimate 65 sitting around somewhere is scrap it for the rollers, if they are in decent shape. Even if they arent you would have a sample of how it goes together. Try job first on a junk machine you have nothing to loose:)
if you try feel free to call me anytime phone help support is always free. The other day I got a call from a nice lady in hawaii, and hopefully helped her fix 2 machines, the problems were pretty simple......
