Hi, what you may not know that sometimes the heating eliments may not be working. You get cold spots and that could be bad. What is your price range for a new one. I looked and looked, even on ebay but most people are selling new ones. Do not buy a 9 x 12. Go at least 11 x15. I don't know what size you are doing. I just strated doing wholesale tees but I was doing tote bags and it was fine. Now I am saving for a larger unit as I thought.. like a damn fool that the 9 x 12 would work. great for totes but not for tees, I have to work harder. check out coastalbusiness.com for some pricing. Let me know. Lou
