just received a new Silver gen, my old one was 18 yrs old and worked perfectly,
but my kids decided I needed a new one, so the new Silver gen has flat
electrodes is this good? It was hard to talk to the maker of the product as he
does not like to talk much so I know nothing about these flat electrodes. >
Any information would be helpful.> Thank You >
