Slow speed on a blue racer is around 22 WPM, I think. > > Al's comments were right on - it's really about adjustment, not age. Thanks - sounds like they'd all be a nice fit then. My biggest concern was that the models with the triangular pivot mechanism (or the non-jeweled mechanism) would be prone to problems, etc. My original deluxe seems to be stuck at around 35wpm with the huge weight at the top of the arm. I saw where I can get other weights for it but i'll see what I can find for an old bug first.
