Author Topic: DTS XD10 Cost Lyle Romer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1400 From: Davie, FL, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 11-01-2006 07:03 PM                     I guess this belongs in the ground level forum. I was just wondering what the rough cost of a new DTS XD10 player with timecode reader is. I assume they don't make the 6D anymore. I know the price can vary by dealer/volume etc but I'm just looking for a ballpark.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-01-2006 07:35 PM                     Call Richard Fowler or Cinema Equipment Co. in Miami for a price. Most dealers are very reluctant to post any pricing on the forums other than list price...

Out of curiosity, do you know what the list price is?  |  IP: Logged Tristan Lane Master Film Handler Posts: 444 From: Nampa, Idaho Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-01-2006 10:51 PM                     Lyle, A quick google search will give you that information. Some dealer websites have prices quoted on them. One I found showed list price at $7950.00, but on sale for $5900.00 Google........useful  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-02-2006 12:57 AM                     My recomendation is that you ask the service engineering company you use. My policy is if you buy it somewhere else then they deal with it for installation and service and if it causes a problem in other areas of the equipment you pay for the call If you expect a company to provide onsite service then they need to be the sole source of the equipment used it is not a two way street  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-03-2006 07:37 PM                     Actually I don't discourage customers from buying used equipment from other dealers or elsewhere. We ALWAYS make more $$ repairing that used equipment when it first goes in than profit if we had sold the same thing new.
