My 200 came from a member of this group that I also knew from another group. I bugged him for years to sell it to me. I only know one other owner in this group and have found a handful of owners over in the international pen forum. I remember back in the day the sales pitch. Here's our model 200, it's really limited, you really want the 900 and the trade up became an easier sale. So, I don't think that many where sold. Think about how long it's taking for the Sears and Trend router crafters to start hitting the used markets. Many are unused in the box still.
Strictly in my own opinion, the Revo was a last chance dash for cash hoping the sales of a less expensive machine would help the dying sales of the larger machines. It was well promoted at the Woodworking shows and did not take a second seat to the older larger models so one would think the sales where higher. However, I think it was a little late and the market literally shut off at this time. There was about a 6 month period where you where not able to order a Revo so the run time was longer than it appeared. Andy once said if 50 people placed an order he would make a batch. That never happened and even an announcement here in the fan club did not help. The Revo was a very good machine in my opinion. It's one of the few machines I have not been able to purchase for my own collection. I think the Revo owners in this group are around 8 people that I can think of. The majority are overseas owners. The model 1000's really seem to be the leader in the used market at this time. I'm tempted to say it is the most popular machine ever sold. I don't have any numbers to back this up, only a gut feeling. -Tim ----- Original Message ----- From: Begat To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, December 16, 2012 4:10 AM Subject: The Revo Never Gets Put on the Market -- Why? Hello All, Simple observation, in the two years that I have been searching for Legacy mills for resale, I have never seen a 200 or a revo. I figure the 200 never sold many and can be shoved in a corner. But the Revo takes up a little more space, and appears to have sold fairly well. Will someone join Bill and tell me why?
