Just wanted to say thanks for all th info. I am in the market for a new timing machine. I currently have the vibrograf b200, but was wanting to get something digital, and a little quieter! I was wondering if you had any recomendations, a newer vibrograf, witchi, or mtg 3000 4000 5000. I see a wide range of prices. I just found your blog last week and really enjoy it.
