Hey! It's our buddy Michael Babcock in the Boston Globe! And he is "bringing it." Meaning, man, look at that machine. You can see the hours of care and maintenance Michael has put into keeping that model 31 happy. That thing is gorgeous. As an example of his dedication to maintenance, check out what appears to be a polished piece of aluminum custom fitted to help slug shavings stay within the waste tray below the pot. Nice idea. Also, check out the compositor's chair. I've not seen one as clean and in pristine condition as that one. Anyway, the guy isn't messing around, and it's nice to see him featured in this article by Brian MacQuarrie. Published in the Boston Globe November 10, 2019.
