I have the GX-24 and PNC 1000A ( earlier version of the pnc1100 )
The PNC 1000A in 15 years, never needed a part, always runs and
simple to operate. I use it almost every day. Limitations are 20 inch width.
I have designed HUGE complicated files in Corel, exported them in .eps files
to SignMate, never had a problem and can cut any length.
If I had a PNC 1100 ( 24 inch width ) or could have found one when I needed it
I would have never bought the GX 24. By the time I have to tell the GX24
what to do, the old PNC 1000A is half way through the job.
I only use the GX24 when I need more than a 20 inch wide cut. And maybe
one day I might have use for the electronic eye of the GX24,... maybe.

PNC 1000's and 1100's have been advertised for 300-400 dollars.
For a newbie, I think it is a excellent starter machine. Very little programming
and no electronic eye to deal with. Before buying one of these old machines,
see it operate first. Later, if you wish, buy a newer machine and keep the old
one for a backup. One good thing about newer machines is warranty and tec support.
But you are also spending about 1200.00 plus more for it too.

Good Luck

No person on 101 knows more about the 1100 than OP.Good luck !! If you want to talk newbe to newbe call me, Mike @ 606-748-1888 anytime.

Hey, I use a PNC1100 too. I was using a Graphtec prior to getting this one (The shop closed). I have to say, the Graphtec was a little quieter, but the PNC does a fantastic job. Picked it up for $500 and it looks brand new. I'm happy with it. Of course, I don't do a TON of vinyl either, since I'm mainly a screen printing shop. But when I do, it's very reliable and user friendly.

I had a pnc 1100 when it was a new machine and cut literally miles of vinyl with it and being before digital print did some incredibly intricit jobs with it OFTEN and never had a problem, so sadly i must say that Flame's statement is not based on real world experience. I would agree though that you could probably find newer equipment if you did some hunting, I've seen many Summa DC 60 plotters for smoking prices.
