@txlabman,

This is one of my favorite machines for sure; what a beast. I believe very limited numbers were made for educational purposes.
Awesome video, thanks!

Thanks Mike. I continue to be amazed how well it runs on 5-7 psi. The working governor really works well.

Once.

It was very powerful.  I didn’t make a video.

I plan on steaming it again soon.
