That would be great Phillip, if you wouldn't mind. I guess my principal
question is whether it uses a directly heated roller or some form of heat
pad upstream of the roller. I'm banking on it being directly heated, given
the limited depth of the whole machine. Also, an idea of the ease of
changing the gearing would be useful.
Thanks
Bill
