Any Suggestions on a Guitar Exchange?

[Truffle Guy]

When I started my company last summer I was frantically ordering equipment so I could be ready for production by October. I had used a guitar in class but never for my own production and so when I ordered mine, I really didn't understand the different sizes very well. So of course I got the wrong base size for my tastes. I have a 7.5mm Dedy with 4 frames and a cart and I'd really like a 5mm base so I can have a 25mm frame. Does anyone have any suggestions? It is only a few months old so I hate to sell it and lose money. I can keep the 15 and 30 mm frames so I only need to exchange the base and the 7.5mm and 22.5mm frames.

I will try to see if I can exchange it with the company from which I purchased it but I'm not very optomistic. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, I don't have any advice on an exchange, but I would like to know where you bought it from. I'm in the market for one.

Not the answer to your problem, but did you see the cute little baby Dedy they are making now.

Here is a picture.

can you explain the differences in the size of the base? I know about the frames, but didn't know about there were different size bases?

[alanamoana]

i thought the dedy base was standard (the width between cuts) to allow for all the different frames that you'd use...

[Kerry Beal]

Dedy makes two bases, one with 5mm spacing and one with 7.5 mm spacing. The 5 mm is more expensive. Some of the frames are interchangable and some are not.

The advantage of the 5 mm, as I see it, is that you can get a square of .98 inches. With the 7.5 mm you can get .88 or 1.13 inches only. So I guess it just depends what you need to cut to fit your packaging.

That baby Dedy is great - do you know if anyone's selling it, and how much they're charging?

I don't, but it would be worth a call to Tomric.

I went ahead and purchased a Dedy with a 5mm base and a 25mm frame. So now I have an almost new Dedy 7.5mm base and 22.5mm and 37.5mm frames that I really don't need. Is there a place on Egullet to sell/trade equipment or do I need to go to Ebay?

Any other suggestions for places to sell chocolate equipment? I can recover some of the expense of the new base/frame by selling the old one.....another lesson learned, I had no idea about the different frame sizes when I ordered my guitar.

Consider selling it on the AUCTION BLOCK.

The base is 5 mm and costs 580 euro.

5mm frame 420 euro

10mm frame 310 euro

15mm frame 280 euro

20mm frame 237 euro

25mm frame 216 euro

Then of course there would be shipping and duty to be paid.

Tomric isn't carrying it right now.

Thanks! I emailed Dedy but they never got back to me. Neither did chocolatform about my mould problems (the cooling marks on my bars!) Why don't they get back to their customers?! SO thanks- quite highly priced. I did like the multi praline cutters available at Dedy. Almost like my idea...
