Hello, I am a new member based in UK and I recently inherited 2 key cutting machines that I don't know much about them. Internet did not bring much of information either.
Due to my engineering background i am kind of trying to identify what i have and if it's worth repairing/making use of them. The purpose is to put these machines in action and if I can and have a play duplicating my own car keys, house key's etc.
One of the two machines looks to be a Tibbe machine with a Parvalux motor but no manufacturer's label. It seems to be working ok but at the moment it has no use to me as my cars don't use that type of keys.
The other one it has a sticker on the front plastic cover that says CEA Maestro and there is a manufacturer's label on the side with some information:
Ilco Orion
M075590A
Maestro GB EU
The Maestro machine it needs a new disc and the front clamping parts needs a bit of attention and some parts replacing possibly. I am wondering if these machines are any good and it's worth the time and effort to bring them back to life.
Couple of pictures of the machines:
