Hi Curt, My 900 is a manual model with the hand crank. It did pretty well for me on candlesticks and canes gifts back then but I am hoping to expand my project range. I haven't performed any modifications to the machine yet but may consider it.
The links you provided will be very helpful. I haven’t used the machine in quite a while so I have been going over my old information and also found a few YouTube videos. I can’t watch my old Legacy VHS tapes right now, it seems that the player was packed away a little too good when I moved a couple years ago. Thanks again.
