Re: 2 x Epson 1290's for spares or repair FREE to anyone who wants them!

I have 2 x Epson 1290 A3 Printers that I no longer need.
One of them, I bought off eBay a couple of years ago to rob the print head out of it but never got round to it. At the time it was sold for 'spares or repair'. It's been a while since I looked at it but I remember it having a cracked lid and was missing the paper support thingy.
The other is the one I have always used until it started leaving little black dots around anything printed in black. I assume it's a print head problem? It also struggled to feed Text Print paper through without getting jammed. This I solved by removing some of the front rollers. I still have these which could be put back in. It is also missing the paper support thingy.
Still attached to the printer is the CISS which is empty.
I decided a new printer was the best way to go so I bought a Ricoh GX e3300N from BMS (brilliant printer by the way and very highly recommended!)
So, before they both go to the local rubbish tip, I thought I would ask on here if anyone wants them free of charge?
All I would like is to cover the cost of the courier charge which I'm guessing will be around £10 if I tape both boxes together.
Please PM me if interested.
