I think that is the angle I'll use next time I call to get something. 'D M G' Don't Much Give a shit or Damn Mother lovin Germans, unless of course your ready to buy a million dollar VMC.
It is beyond me why they would still support a machine with remaining parts inventory but abandon the existing numerical parts cataloging system. They should at least have there own parts books that you could give them the part and page#. They wanted me to take photos of the actual parts on the machine and also scan the pages out of the parts book for them to email to Germany.
It wouldn't matter if the parts book came with it's own UN translator.Last I spoke with DMG the part numbers meant jack squat, it seems you have to jump through flaming hoops, say pretty please and beg for mercy to get any deckel part from any source not to mention empty your wallet in most cases.
