Congratulations Jake. All’s well that ends well.
I totally understand the reluctance to transfer warranty on used equipment since provenance of upkeep could be questionable.
But I do agree that warranty on new equipment should transfer - with the possible imposition of a fee that discourages arbitrage. PM makes a profit on a newly sold/delivered machine no matter who ends up with it, so supporting the end user with a warranty is no additional cost to them and would contribute to PM’s reputations value.
Setting that aside, your resourcefulness paid off nicely. I still think you have an alternate day job opportunity finding under valued equipment for others. I could do with an Acra LCM-50, so keep an eye out please.
