I did my homework before I bought mine, I emailed andy and said I was looking for probably a used machine, he still emailed me and said, of course to buy one of his if I did. I read some stuff on line about the other one jamming, and it looks that way because of the metal ramp, which is probably the hardest part to knock off. I have an idea how I could overcome that without the lexan ramp but I really don't want to get into the copper sorting machine biz, and the time lost building my own I could already be sorting copper. Also as open, receptive, and available as Andy is I don't know that I want to try to affect a business that he kind of launched for the little guy to sort copper. Right now I don't think you can do any better than the Ryedale machine, last night there were 3 of his used on ebay.
as a side note my copper sorting had dropped to around 7%, I picked up 8 Garda and 4 Brinks boxes yesterday, the Garda had some 40% boxes the average over 8 was 32% the best I have had since I started and the majority of the copper is bright 70's coin. the Brinks ran pretty much at 16% across all the boxes, also up. the last 2 Garda pickups before this one were all new 2012 coin.
