Well IMO I would start out with something new. Less headaches! There are a lot of good portables out there a lot less than seven grand. Try Cross American Ed Valentine,
he has awesome machines. Also try Larry cobb at Cobb Chemical he sells Mytee portables. You wil not go wrong with either one. Also Savage has Electric Tm for around your price. Hope this helps

Really good posts there NJPSR!

I've got a few months on you there Nick!  No school like old school.

Been to Florida but spent of my life in California.  Up in the Pacific Northwest right now Nick.  My wife was an air force brat and her step mother lived to Gulf Shores Ala near the panhandle.  Got about as far as Pensacola.  You have the best beaches.  I have never seen sand that white.

I learned on thing important from her step mother when down there, alright, two things.  One, if I raise my head again when swinging at a golf ball she will wrap barbed wire between my legs and around my head (my golf game immediately improved).  Two, if a golf ball goes into the water, take the penalty.  The gator may decide your hand is a great snack.  Third thing I almost forgot --- if thunder can be heard, game's over.  Golf clubs double as lightning rods in the south.  The gator and thunder problems, yeah, not problems in California.
