same system as the ego?

up until i saw this i thought the ego had a truly unique drive system with the armature pins having give. does anyone know which company came up with this type system first? just curious.http://www.razorbladeproducts.com/xc...ni-ra-red.htmlhttp://www.razorbladeproducts.com/xc...RA-red_lg3.jpghttp://www.razorbladeproducts.com/xc...ni-ra-red.html

Nuema had it years ago.

nuema used this type system? interchangeable rubber armature pin give system, or non-interchangeable, stationary?

just like the ones in that photo.

check out the Neuma Hybrids, you'll see.

this builder is on this site..he makes a nice machine

that's noironmachines.com and he is on here often. You can check out his album here to see pictures of this machine. he's based in italy. his name here is noironmachines. his machine was out before the ego but i don't know if they work the same.

oops. name here is No iron machines.

he doesn't sell them anymore. last i spoke to him he had 2 or 3 left. always seemed like a cool machine. its exactly how the neuma hybrid was. just not as good as the ego. so far, i absolutely love the ego. i found myself having 3 currently. such a great machine. at least for me. totally different than this n the neuma.

thanks for all the info, now that the guys forum name was said i remember seeing a similar machine in his avatar photo. much appreciated.
