    If anybody is wondering about durability, my grandfather had one back in the 50's. About 8 years ago he said I could have it and that all it needed was a new cord. I played around with it and got it to work but never got around to buying a new cord. I left it at his house which was a mistake. After cleaning his house out before selling it, it was no where to be found. Needless to say, after 50 years, 40 of that sitting in a basement, and all it needed was a cord to be good as new. Had I known then what I know now I would have never let that thing out of my sights.

      showtime- Too bad that got away. The older ones have some minor cosmetic differences that some of us think are cool.

      When I sent my thoroughly abused 20 year old one if for service, they said that it didn't *really* need anything. I had them rebrush the motor anyhow while they had it all apart. I can't remember it *ever* even being lubricated in all those years yet it worked just fine. (Note to self: lube the Cyclos more often )

      Mike- IIRC your initial impressions of the Cyclo weren't too favorable. for being willing to work with it some more. Not sure how it'll work out with Meguiar's products as I generally use mine with other stuff. Sure is my favorite way of using #16 though.
