Sales - Upgrades
After many years of solid service, it often seems a shame to replace a tried and tested machine with a more modern machine. In truth, this is usually the best solution. However, if your reliable machine has only failed due to obsolete parts or a minor technical infringement, it may well be worth a small investment to rejuvenate your current machine for many more years of faithful service.
