Default anybody ever used a m&r heat press?

Just got a used heat press with model # MRGM1620. It's a 16x20" heat press by M&R, at M&R Companies, Amscomatic, Nuarc.
I am hoping somebody out there has the machine or another model by them - I can't seem to find much info online or even on their website... they seem to do big company machinery as well as screenprinting presses....
Thanks in advance.

I haven't heard of them making heat presses, only nice screen printing equipment.

You might try emailing/calling them from their website to see if they can offer you more info.

well, they had me leave a message for somebody who's out of the office til next week, so I won't know anything for a while. I was hoping somebody knew of this heat press so I can get some background on it. (how good is it, etc, etc)

another person called back today.
he said they stopped producing the presses 2 yrs ago, and they were made by a company named "National". Unfortunately it's hard to find much on that company with an internet search ('national' is way too common).
I wonder if by chance anybody has a contact or knows offhand about the quality of these heatpresses...

National aren't around anymore either. I believe they were decent when they were.

There is some information about National brand heat presses in the forum. From what I remember, I think the opinions were pretty good.

well at least that's good to hear.
I'm ready to start a couple test samples on it...
wish me luck!
PS - Rodney - your post on your experiences with transfer makers was very helpful.
