No, nothing like it. They're the same form factor as the Personal Laminator (from Pulsar), except for a single, rather than two
position switch on top, with no separate power sw. on the side. Also, it's light blue & light grey, as opposed to dark blue & dark
grey for the Personal version. The mechanicals are the same, electrical as well, except for single temp circuit. They all have only
power & ready LED's, over temp breaker and thermal snap switch(s) for control.
BTW, my IR thermometer can 'see' the rollers through the input and output slots, and the reading of the board corresponds closely as
it comes out the 'back door', so I think it's mostly a matter of accuracy of the $20 tool. Eventually if I find it necessary, I will
make a variable controller and do away with the snap switches.

Roger

Looks like this?
http://www.delorie.com/electronics/laminator/If to, it's got a 320 F cutoff in it, and despite what the board is on
the way out, seems to actually run at 320 F on the rollers. I hacked
mine to support 240 F (UV film) and 350 F (toner).
