Two Questions. First, on an HS50 we found that the glass encoder on the back of one of the sleeve was fractured and fell off. I'm wondering if this is common with age or happened when the machine was shipped to us. Second, has anyone in the US purcha

Scott Wish we could all quite showing our age and just enjoy the SMTNet. Most of us enjoy reading the responses and at times responding to issues that are important to all of us. Technical information is so important to all of us. Most of the Old
