If you wanted to sell it, a for sale thread will appear today. I think you have become way attached to it, and have alot of sentimental value invested.

Greg i think you're right mate! if i truly wanted to sell it, i reckon i would have posted that by now... Will persevere cause i have learnt so much on this machine and i guess will continue to do so. Thanks for the advice guys (and offers of help which im sure to take up).

Cheers!!!
