Garry, how many machines are involve in the process of the rings? And what does the $70k get you?

From what i have been told it all fits into an area the size of a 3 car garage .

You put up the money AMCA and I will supply the 4 bay shed

UPDATE:-

Chapmans ring making machine is for sale $70K.

Chapmans are continuing to make rings for the private breeder till the machine is sold.

Due to the selling of the machine they wont be making club rings at this time.

Of course any new owner may decide to reinstate that.

Is there enough money to be made making rings to justify a 70k outlay?

The average show budgie breeder will use between 50 and 200 rings a year. There are 14 places per budgie type in the National Budgie show. I suspect that makes the answer yes. If you are factoring in a period of 3 or 4 years to break even then go on for at least another 3 or 4 years before considering retiring.

Im impressed that it takes a 70 k machine the size of a caravan to make something the size of a pea.

Just an up date,Chapman rings are now operating out at Dandenong Victoria,nice people to do business with,ordered split aluminum,initialed,numbered rings and will have them in 3 days,and cheap compared to the alternative,phone number is 0397923337,garyh

Can anyone share an email address for the current Chapman Rings manufacturer/retailer ?

They don't seem to have an email address,but the telephone number works and they might be able to work something out,garyh
