I was slightly hoping I was wrong. Great video, thanks for sharing. How is it in comparison to other machines for sound? The video is hard to tell from, but I am pretty sure you should oil your foot switch. Also what size liner did you use? I am guessing it might be more suited for fine lines 5 and below, as the strike is only from the spring. That would make it inherently soft. Still sounds like an awesome machine, and I am still pretty certain that I have to have one.
