Hi I repair roll laminators for a living in the western PA area, as a indenpendent repair person. Around here GBC charges 317 dollars for the first hours labor, I have been told its 500 bucks for the first hour in california:(
In any case your machine refuses to run when you push forward? have you tried pushing reverse? can you hear the motor run when you push forward? A limited number of ultimate 65s have 2 circuit breakers facing downward in the bottom left rear corner close to being under the yellow reverse button. One breaker protects the entire machine, the other breaker when its there protects the motor circuit. You can carefully tip the machine backwards upside down to see the breaker or breakers. Had this machine occasionally ran backwards when you pushed run? If so the membrame switch is undoubetdly bad. If you were anywhere around pittsburgh I would give you a free on site no cost no obligation estimate. Feel free to call me phone help is ALWAYS FREE! like helping others.
