[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not buy used as often they need serviced or repaired and its costly.  Buy a $200 one.[/quote]

This is my reasoning too! -OP[/quote]

That resoning is very incorrect.

Get an older model used machine for $100.00 +/- on ebay, facebook or a thrift store.

It will be far superior than anything you buy new, not just superior to the cheap machines but superior to the expensive digital machines.

The older machines are very simple mechanically.   Most maintenance can be done by anyone with a modicum of competence.   Get the intitial servicing professionally done so the timing of the machine is correct and tge belts are in good shape.  After that, your sone should be able to clean and maintain it on his own for years before it will require a second servicing.

The new machines are pure junk.

Your son is correct.  He wants an older model used machine, not a new machine.

You will be throwing away your money if you spend $200.00 on a new machine.[/quote]
