[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 536045, member: 10304"] Hi Ben, you probably need to look at around $3k+ for a second hand VJ, also if you're not familiar with setting up and re-aligning a faceting machine, the VJ is probably the hardest to align. Have a hunt around for a Gemmasta GF3 or 4 or a Hall Mk5 or a 2000, both are good machines but a lot easier to work on if you have to do bearings and alignments. Also relatively easy to source parts and accessories for a Gemmasta as they are still being manufactured, Hall a bit harder, you'll have to go to Horst Ricker in Rubyvale for new bits. [/QUOTE]
