Yeah my wife has an original and I can't say enough good things about it. I for it for her for valentines last year, and wanted to black line it for here. So I wrote the builders about it and gave them the machine number. They thanked me for buying an original machine even if it was used and told me they would send all of the parts I would need to black the machine out for free. I even had the parts a day before I had the machine. These guys truly know customer service and they make a hell of a machine. I advice everyone to try one if you ever get the chance.
