So true, I have taken some flack from some artists for the bastardizing of some famous builders frames in the past. It is so odd to me to hold true to the mantra of great machines, while they maybe great for some, they may not be great for all.

Even my rotary machines have mean modified ever so slightly to run the way I like. I adapt my machines to me, not the other way around. Call it a compulsion, it is one of my hang ups.

I will give up a simple modification for rotary machines. Capacitors for reducing electrical noise. It really makes the motors run better. This has been a new compulsion for me as of late.
