AMI Model A 1946 mother of plastic

[olddavid]

I am considering buying the Model A because it looks cool with all the colors. Any thoughts on this unit? easy to repair, parts, value?

A very impressive and colourful model I'd say. It might need a large room so its appearance and illumination can unfold their effects.

Easy to repair? I think this depends on your experiences, skills, knowledge. All in all it is a more mechanical machine. For some this would make it easier while other undetsand quite modern equipment easier.

Parts: I recommend to get a complete one, especially for all the plastic parts. Victory Glass offers some reproduction parts. victoryglass.com/model/ami-a/

Value: Depends on condition and seller. A dealer will ask more as he has to pay tax and make a living out of his sales. A private person can for these reasons offer for less. Value in USA might vary from a few 100$ (parts machine) to maybe 3000 (grade 1 for a perfect restored one incl. warranty from a dealer. For other countries other values might be right.
