Thank you for watching these videos. I will continue to make more content involving the machines i have had personal and in depth time with. If there is anything you want to discuss about any particular machine, please feel free to post in the comments.

I'm going to be putting together some part swap videos on a few of these machines if anyone is interested in basic repair or installing new parts.
