Thank all of you so much for your help! I'm bought the machine from a retired nurse in Oregon. My sister who lives in Portland will be shipping it to me. I can count on her to follow the directions. Tons and tons of bubble wrap, padding, and a double box with more padding.
I will let you know how she does. . . . . please keep your fingers crossed.
Want to see her picture? and yes, she looks that GOOD!!!
