The Don Bosco Technical School of Sihanoukville (Cambodia) got a Raschelina RD3 3/630 Warp knitting machine and a Varitex V5Ni Narrow frabic loom as a donation from Jakob Müller AG on February 8th, 2006 "for any Private Show or trial operation if necessary, but subject to mutual agreement." Since then the machine has remained in the installations of Don Bosco Technical School in a good condition. As the program of sewing section was closed, Don Bosco Foundation of Cambodia asked to Jakob Müller AG to decide if the machine would be move to other organization, repatriate or sell to a best place where they can be more useful. Jakob Müller agreed with Don Bosco Foundation of Cambodia that "if possible, we would appreciate if the machine (s) now in your possession and not being used, could be sold to a buyer/user in Cambodia". In this case, we are offering to any buyer/user in Cambodia the machines. Any question to this regard can be addressed to Fr Albeiro Rodas, Vice Rector of Don Bosco Technical School Sihanoukville, albeiror24@gmail.com - H.P. (855) 17 399 864. Any person, organization or company interested in one or both machines, could make an offer.

Questions
Are the machine complete?
Yes, it is. The machines were cared by the school and not part has been removed, damage or lost.
What is the condition of the machines?
The machines have been in the school since 2006. Since then, they have been cleaned and got a due maintenance. However, if you want a careful report about every part of the machines with specific questions and more pictures, please email me and you will get it soon.
All the components of the machines are at their place according with the manual of use?
Yes, they are. You can inquire again by email and you will get a more detail report.
Do you have the instruction book along with the machines?
Yes, we have the instruction book plus all the considerations given by Müller and how to use and care for them.
Is there any damage in the machines?
Not at all. They never got a problem while they were in the school.
How old are the machines?
They arrived to the school in February 2006 from Germany. At the time they were new, so they are two years and eight months with us.
When were the machines last used?
They were used until December 2007, before the sewing section was closed.
After they were not used, how you store the machines?
They remained in the same room and the administration ordered a regular maintenance. They avoid to move the machines in order to keep them in good conditions.
If I am in a country different to Cambodia, how I will transport the machines?
Sihanoukville is a harbor. I think the best way is to put them into a container. However, we can discuss any possibility and how we can share expenses in this way. We have to do documents in order to bring them out of Cambodia. If you are inside Cambodia, I recommend you to have a vehicle appropriate to their transport.
Can I give you back the machines if I do not like them?
Yes, you can do so but before 30 business days and you will run the expenses of the devolution.
Can I get any technical support in order to use them?
Yes, we have some persons who know very well how to use them. If you come, you can meet them, talk to them by phone or invite them to visit your place if you are settled in Cambodia.
If you are a NGO, what are you going to do with the money of the machines?
The machines were a donation from Müller. If we get the sell, we will notify Müller of it. Lickely, the money becomes a fund to support one of our education programs inside the Don Bosco Technical School of Sihanoukville. For example, we want to create the social communication laboratory for the students of social com., the program that replaced the former sewing section.
