Hello Karsten and Mauro!

Thanks for the additional tips. I have seen the www.industrypart.com in the web, will contact them.
(Karsten - I cannot imagine, what is a "Käsefräse", seems interesting.)

Currently the two old Pade machines still works pretty,
the second one I bought mainly because of the exchange components, as they are quite similar in construction.
This machine but now is also fully used. We have got this one only 1 year ago (was buyed used and we had nothing to learn new).
However, the true value of these machines is usually their existing programs.

That's why these "TPA & Co" companies' business policies (throwaway society) are so damaging.
After all, such large expenditures can only be represented in mutual trust.
I actually have a good service company in the background. I will contact also them (company Eisner, Linz) to see what the future looks like.

Thanks again for your help and advice!

Franz
