The second video was much easier to watch than the other two. Really interesting. I want to know what that thing that looks like a 'personal mini massager' on the back spring shelf is!

I saw an even older machine with tensioner about 10 years ago. Nothing new about it, its just a matter who can make it smaller with the least amount of parts and easier to be operated.
The benefits of being an artists and builder...not just a builder.

Time machine used to sell this crazy looking Rubber band replacement that looked to be made out of a needle bar. They may still have it I think it was only a couple bucks

they do look a bit bulky overengineered most likely by a builder only.

Complete overkill- what we in Britain would call a "Heath Robinson" affair.
