Charles... What a great find my friend with all the book work, thats amazing. There is one like this at one of local shops I may get the next time I go back. All it has is just the machine.

Well thanks Ben for showing my video... Here is a pic of the twins. One was the one I got in the movie and the other was the grandparents. As you can see I only have the one box left.
