Agreed, i think the video needed to be 60 mins and not 28. I appreciated the detail that went into the "knee pulley" explanation, and the outrigger's mitering technology. I think watching the parts being machined could have been a nice touch.


Im astonished that Robyn is correct. That machine is unbelievably heavy depending on the spec. 3,500lbs at its lightest and 4,600lbs at its heaviest. WOW. I also just looked up the original T75 from the 1970s, which weighs in at only 2,300lbs. For all those that have the mantra, "they dont make em like they used to", you can stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

I have a Martin T17 in pieces in my garage right now, and i cannot imagine how or why that machine would need to be heavier. It is a lightweight in the context of the above. It only weighs 1,650lbs
