Yes BB,

I was amazed at the interest in the Diplomat. $50 was too cheap obviously but I'm just pleased it's gone.
I thought it was worthless.

The Diplomats were actually not a bad machine to use I thought. The rear catcher worked well and was convenient. Of course I
have never used a real SB so I do not know.
I had people very upset they missed out but my Gumtree policy first one at my place gets it. Too many no shows to hold anything.

I suppose the 3D printed drive gear might be alright and could extend their life.
