Hi there,

I've been looking for the Metabo Cordless Tacker (Ta A 19), which
Metabo used to sell up to 2000/2001 when they took it out of their
collection.

I'm looking for anybody who still has one for sale, preferably in
Europe, or even better, The Netherlands, but I will settle for
anywhere in the known universe...

The Machine was available in 2 versions:
Order nr. 00139 (with charger)
Order nr. 00140 (without charger)

I already own quite some Metabo machines, some use the same battery
pack's as this machine, that is why I am specifically looking for a
Metabo machine and not for a similar machine from another brand
(Makita, etc.). Since I already own the charger included in the first
mentioned version, I would prefer the second, but now might not be the
time to get picky :)

An image of the machine can be found at:

To help you on your way: I’ve spoken to Metabo in The Netherlands, and
to their distributor here, and they don’t have any anymore. I tried at
the head office of Metabo in Germany, and got the answer that the
machine was not produced any more… But they didn’t really seem to try
and help me further (like check for a forgotten machine in the
basement, or direct me to distributors..)

ThanX a whole lot if you can find someone who still has this
machine...
