Great acquisition.
I like "old" machines.
It was considered lite weight in the early 90s, at 3.5lbs.
Please update your finds.

Peace ✌

In 25 years at least physically nothing has changed at all. Well, today they use a lot more plastic and the coil wires are shorter so they don't have to wind down the shaft as many times.
I'm sure that basically the exact same components are still generally in use.
