Hamada RS34S

Need some help. I am rebuilding a Hamada RS34 and aside from finishing up new paint on the covers I have been searching for Ink Fountain Rollers for both the main head and Satelite head. The rollers and ink fountain blades from Hamada are over 2 grand. Anyone have another source or solution to my problem?

 

Hamada keeps a tight grip on there prices. You might be able to call around to other print shops see if they have any extra hamada parts laying around. Thats what we did till we decided that the hamada prints just the same as our ab dick 9985 so we just got rid of it because the cost of maintenance is cheaper with ab dick

 

Ziggy thanks for the reply. I do not personally run any printers I service and sell them and have a customer who has always run Hamada's and there operators just cant seem to get a grasp on their ryobi 3302. So they want the machine I am rebuilding with a trade in of the 3302. Great for me cause that 3302 brings more value to the table. Personally from my standpoint I think the abdick is alot more friendly and cost effective to maintain than a hamada but got to do what the customer wants. I was hoping someone would chime in with a company that would resurface the old ones at a significant cost. I also am pondering having a machine shop mill me some nice good old steel ones.
