    There are various available, the Old Timer, and Wayne Taylor, don't forget Nicks or Dan Kubin to name but a few, they all work pretty similar, you will need to decide what stroke, weight and budget you prefer..

    Hmmm I guess a longer stroke would be better for dotwork? And a heavier machine also sounds like a benefit for dotwork? So far the old timer sounds like the solution :-)
