Bellaboo... I agree with you about how there are lots of people that just want the job done more than worry about getting top dollar. So true.
Not having a manual is no big deal. I'm horrible at finding those things! I keep putting them in "safe places" - never to be seen again until the next time I move. LOL
Just last night, I chased 45 miles to go buy an ElnaPress off of Craigslist. This thing was *brand new*, *never been used* and I scored it for $50. (Probably sold for $500 two or three years ago)
