G’day All,

Recently purchased a Blue Grey 50W from eBay and have already learnt so much from Russ' YouTube series.

I think I am going to enjoy tinkering with the machine more than using it (:

Welcome Brad- tinkering is fun but the things these machines can do is... funner? You may want to record your Vendor file [FAQ section] as. it is common for people to lose them when first poking around their machines. Gene

Thanks Gene,

Vendor file is all backed up now - thanks. Already installed a mA meter and the Ultimate Air Assist Kit to satisfy my need to "tinker".

I'm sure using it will be a lot funner :) once I have the materials dialed in. Almost there.
