G'day Timh. May I suggest that before you go to the fair next year, research as much as you can on each machine. Visit each website and have a look at videos on you tube. When we were deciding on a CMC, the first one we saw working was like Disneyland to us...........( and I must admit, sometimes we...

Thats funny....

Very nice Roboframer. Is it necessary to secure the two mountboards together before putting the cards in?
