re: Supermax 19/38?

Thanks, folks. I know Delta had a lot of trouble with their model, especially the first iteration, fortunately mine had none of those problems over the years. I had bought it second hand but unused for $500, and it was worth any penny. I’m kinda of not considering the Jet models fearing they may have done some cost engineering on the Performax (sounds like that may not be the case). Anyway, I think I may pull the trigger on the 19/38 sometime this month. Any other opinions out there? Ellen, with that H&L conversion do you still use the strips or is it a different paper you install? I’ve seen postings where once the H&L was installed, it made the drum “soft” and didn’t sand as cleanly as the harder aluminum surface.
