Shoe repair machine and Patcher

[CDTL]

Hi everyone I have made the bid decision not to do shoe repairs anymore as my locksmith side is now taking over my business. If anyone knows of anyone who is thinking of starting a new business and needs machines i have a Standard GP combi single fhase in really good condition and works fantastic thanks to si serve looking after it over the years and a patcher also perfect working order.

I want nothing for them after this year I realise there is more to life than money so if I can help someone get a good start in fitted out their new shop then great.

To get the stuff out is not to bad but they will have to help me get the counter out and refit it with me.

This is a genuine offer

That's a great gesture.  In the right circumstances you could get a couple of grand for these machines. Fair play to you.

Hi everyone Patcher has gone to help a fellow Shoe repairer hope it makes them a good living just machine left

For the record, the machine was only a machine supplied by Standard, NOT built by us. It is a GP130 from Italy.

i've had a full kit in my back shop

for at least 4yrs tried to give it away on 

this site for free

do you have any shoe repair stock for sale at all

[CDTL]

Hi all the patcher has gone free of charge all shoe repair stock has gone free of charge with all my tools, just the machine to go if no one wants it by the close of Christmas eve I will scrap it. Really did want to help people and as for the comment about just for the record the machine was only a machine supplied by Standard,  not built by us, it is a GP130 from Italy. Really who cares you seemed to completely missed the point i am giving a very good machine away for free to help someone it's not a second hand car with a bad engine

I hope you can find someone who can make use of it, I don't like to see useable items getting scrapped.

Very few new young people coming into the shoe repair trade these days so maybe difficult for you to find a taker.

And I just wanted to make sure that a repairer didn’t pick this machine up assuming it can be supported by us at Standard.

It’s important in my opinion that people understand what they are taking on in all cases.

No offence intended

I believe that no offence was intended but I told everyone that over the years Si-Sevre had looked after it and it works perfectly with new dust bag new running wheels at the top new brushes etc thanks to them.

As some who has looked after my Machine and with the Standard label on the side of the machine I had no idea that Standard did no longer support this machine, I thought it was important to tell everyone what make it was and that more importantly it’s single phase plus if they did have any problems then Si-Serve will sort it out.

This forum was set up by a shoe repairer for shoe repairers to help each other that’s all I was trying to do.

As I’ve said, it’s Not a Standard machine and that was my point. It will do someone a good turn and let’s hope it finds a home. 
 

Many machines have been supplied over the years with our logo on, it doesn’t mean we built it, that was my concern. We receive calls every month from people who have purchased a machine from eBay for instance, assuming that we can service and support it. When we tell them the bad news their comment is often ‘ I would never had bought it had I known’,

It's free, costs nothing, if it goes wrong call Si serve, if it can't be fixed scraps it  What do you expect for free, a year's warranty?

Thank you finally someone gets it why o why do people think it’s ok to put the dampers on a genuine post

Hey cdtl, what was the result with the shoe finisher? Do you still have it, or did you find a new home for it, or was it scrapped. Thanks mate
