Butterflywing? How dare you not show up!! When is the one near you? Might be able to make it.
I don't know about the guy in Portsmouth, unless he's the old guy that works out of his house. If so, he's pretty good with older machines, not the newer ones with computers, or so I was told.
If you bought your machine from Tidewater and they warranty it and all, then I would take it back to them. I won't take another to them, I assure you.
