here is how the older thick hinges were made. Note the milling marks on the sides...

These are the most unusual hinges I have worked with to date. Three our of four needed service, one needed to be completely rebuilt (rest the hinge pin and re-pean it down.

one of my favorite parts of this machine is the sound she makes when running. if you can, you should download the videos I posted and listen to her. My DD is into music and she was enthralled by the rhythm "Mina" has. She described it as a soft train sound... Love it...
