PC9600 is scheduled to be on that same job later in the year so hopefully I can be on site to see this machine and maybe get some pictures.

Tommy,

at the moment the PC9600 is at Sarens Headquater in Wolvertem/B to get some modifications. After that the crane will be first in Amsterdam/Netherlands for lifting operation (details unknown) following from a longer job at a new coal fired power plant in the port of Rotterdam/Netherlands.

So it will be very late in 2010 to travel to UK.

he had one on ebay but don't know what she went for,tastey looking model indeed

Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?

... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt

The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

That was not one of the serial models! I built this one years ago by hand and cannot be compared to the actual models.

To finish the AK 680 series, here is the first version of this crane, the AK 680-2 in Schmidbauer livery.
Most of the parts had to be newly designed or redesigned as his crane much different to the other ones.

i was curious on the price of one of these and i know Paul R had inquired about the price so i asked him and i think he told me it was like 2K plus for one of these models

EDIT: i just checked my email and the price is 1850 Euros ($2700 US Dollars) and thats just to have it in transport mode, no CW's, no boom, no outriggers..... nice looking model but you gotta have gold running through your veins unfortunately to be able to buy one of these bad boys!

Custom work and or limited run models don't come cheap. Mass production allows for better pricing.
Dan has 300 hours in designing the kit alone. It take lots of time to drawn and do the g code for cnc parts. I hope to have a project I'm working to show in the future. Just one of my plastic cutting end mills is $27.00. I snapped a 1/16" I was going to use last weekend with just brushing my hand under it and caught the bit. To get three of them here for this weekend was over $100 bucks.

Even though it is a hobby 60 hours to build one up is six 10 hour days. For an easy number pay yourself $30 bucks an hour is $1800 not counting machine time, which for the number of parts could be from 5-10 hours apiece per model. But I would imagine Dan is cutting parts in groups of how many he is going to build, ie five bodies. You need to pay yourself for your mill time. So his price is a vary fair price. We all want a good deal and we all would like to make good money of our hobbies too.

Dan. I would be curious as to you milling time.

Take care and keep up the good work.

by no means am i saying that his time and price are a rip off. im just saying its a big price tag is all, thats a lot of money you have to come to terms with just giving away

approx. 35 hours for one model and this time is only partially included in the total time of 60 hours to build one.
And thank you for your compliment on my work.
I'm looking forward to see some of your custom work.

Folks, here is my latest model, the Gottwald AK 450. The pictures show the protoype, pictures of the final (serial-) version including the working position (boom, counterweights, outriggers) will follow in 1 or 2 weeks.

Greetings
Dan
