To repair, hopefully!

1 went bang when I plugged it in, 1 is covered in ink and has a 978 error, 1 has a 978 error, 1 has a paper jam, and 2 work OK and just need a good clean-up and service. There are 5 sets of sublijet cartridges all about half full, might just of got myself a bargain.

I saw something similar for sale a few weeks ago. I might be able to find out what the 978 error is for you so you can see if they are bin jobs or could be resurrected. If they can, then members on here may be knocking your door down to buy one of these. We fired our GX7000 up for a demo today and the A3 machine has been sat in one of our offices for weeks not doing anything but decided to use it as the A4 is out on loan - first print perfect. Soooo reliable

I have the full service manual, error 978 is 'ink sump on the left hand side is full' apparently this is software (counter) driven not a level sensor issue. I will try the reset method on the conde.tv website to see if that works. I have almost made up my mind to buy the DF50 press your website, it seems to have good reviews.

I saw them on ebay and considered purchasing myself, but after talking to the seller I decided against it.

Hope you get them up and running because for £190 (i think thats what it ended at) you only need to sell one of them to make your money back.

Yeah, I saw 'em too, but didn't want to risk it!
Good luck with them though
