What did he order? Did he get one of his coil machines or one of his rotaries? There are different models of rotary machines and they will feel different to use. I have one with an a-bar and spring. It's a bit heavy, so I don't use it that often. Sometimes the ones with a-bars are easier for first time rotary users than a direct drive version such as the olde english style.
** Just to clarify - I acquired an old model (it has a #15 inscribed on the frame). It's supercool, but doesn't look like his current production models at all (not like the current ones aren't beautiful). It weighs about as much as a hefty coil machine.
