Black must have been awesome, I trust.
- The case & bezel of the new RDM I like a lot,
also the asymmetry, exhibiting difference.
- I hear and learn the issue of "heated vs painted" and concur completely.
But as I am without clear memory or knowledge as to the previous version
( yes, that's possible - apologies, my peers & cognoscenti),
I expect, it may be an attractive piece for several,
even if not as much for the "puristi"..
- Will it be more than an classy compromise ? - I don't know, yet.
Still, I expect a welcomed return for many
Guess, also interesting to see in real, maybe.
Although am definitely not a "golden boy", the warmth of this PG- appeal
has its attraction.
BTW, given the option of a Powermatic, I am with Blomman,
and probably would not hesitate to know my choice, hands down.
(HiVW, note the small "i" !!=Hopeless into Vintage World,
it may appear) .
Just very humble 2 cents, and late in the bucket..
Many thanks for this post, pics and polling your
troops again.
Best, as always
