New Steamer

[Michael Denning]

Question for all yous "experienced" water boilers.
Being new to Live Steam and not really rich I wanna seriously get a Ruby for
my first steamer.
I have read various references and comments about the Ruby being "good for
the price you pay" and "OK for a simple inexpensive machine" or comments to
that effect.
Is it reall very quirky and do you have to "work the bugs out"?
And, can a new guy work the bugs out or will I just get frustrated?
All comments welcome.
Thanks
