Hey Condor, I have an old Barranca machine that originally had 2 silicon wheels and two expanding drums and a faceplate on each end. It now has 3 diamond wheels, 2 Nova wheels and an expanding drum. It's old, but still runs smooth and does a great job.

I'm going to be using the sugar/tape technique on the front of a cab and the removal hints this weekend on a couple of cabs with small vugs that refuse to let go of the wax. Sandy
