We just received information from Novag on their new year 2000 series.
We have seen no photos yet, so our knowledge is limited.

I will write the name of the machine and Novag's eastimated ELO. *Please
note that we generally do not concur with manufacturer's estimates,
and we recommend that you do not take such estimates at face value.
Historically, such estimates are considerably higher than reality dictates.

If there is still interest here on the CCC board for dedicated units, I
will ask someone from Novag to come here and try to respond to questions.
Whether they will or not is anyone's guess...
