Panasonic's A3 Exit

I ate up a Panasonic A3 deal today. I convinced a current Panasonic A3 customer, they had no where to go one year fron now and flipped them to five Toshiba's worth $68k plus $69k BOP.

Don't delay hunt down Panasonic A3 base today!

I believe their copier market went south back in the 80's, the machines never ran like the other brands, You could get a machine like the old 1520 or 1300 to PM to PM but when they came out With the 1530 series and 3030 series they started down hill. What use to make me angry is their technology was state of the art. They were using transfer belts in that first 1530 in the 80's and they developed a lot of other ideas. But their weak spot, is the machines never were consistantly good. I am sure if you talk to someone that only worked on Panasonics or lower tiered machines, they may say they were great. But get someone that worked Ricoh at they same time, i think you would get a different story. I will say they did make great Fax machines, those things ran forever and ran well.

that is great feedback.. Thanks!

Anyone else?
