+1 on that, John. Timing was really bad for these. They obviously could have used more development of the grand concert of design, tolerances, and materials. It would seem that the concept might have been sound--applying modern technology such as CNC and quality casting--but a shame to offer a line which was still having the bugs worked out of it. Another forum member once advised that the examples produced towards the end work best and have the best outward finish. I do like the 1900 pictured in the gallery, as far as configurations go.
