I figured I would mention the noise part as a lot of people live, sort of, in apartments and the noise / vibration of a compressor might make for unhappy neighbors.

That should be interesting, you will become very conscious about all your electrical loads. If being off grid is going to be a new installation you will be better off, electrical wise, of over sizing your solar panels or generation.

Yes, sound can be a big problem especially when having neighbours! I remember my daughter not being able to do leather stamping because of her neighbours....... what a pain! Off grid will be a big adventure.. and I really hope it will work out ok, we are so used to just turn things on these days. But the political situation in France is getting rather worriesome these days, we will be very happy to leave (I have no idea what news goes out in the world about France!)

Viva la revolution! Gotta love the French!

What about waiting to buy when you move to Spain? Have you looked into the prices/availability there?

I can't wait for the revolution to start! Very much needed! Bring back the guillotine too! (For some....) I did a bit of research in Spain too, and the Netherlands (since I am Dutch) but prices all over Europe are about the same. Not much availability either, most are flatbed machines and then they are not even compound feed... Will call a Dutch dealer today, to see what he has available.

Be aware that frequently there are DA 69 on the secondhand market in the Netherlands that have had a hard industrial live. And therefor be prepared to spend some time and money bringing the machine back to full working order. Look out for machines that have had a paint job but the worn-out parts are not replaced. I purchased mine for 700 euro and spend 500 euro in replacing parts. Exclusive my labor.
