Oh yeah I got that much. Thing works great. It is a testament to German engineering. Heats right up. Was just curious about the history of this thing. It weighs a TON!

Neat that it was made for the US market. 

It looks like Leonhard Kurtz now makes foils and has subsidiaries for machinery and tools. What you've got has some of the same design features as a small Baier, so I'm thinking they have made your machine with the Leonhard Kurtz label before getting bought out in 2012.

Super nice looking machine. Would you mind taking a picture from the front please? I'm curious what the typeholder and table look like. 

BTW it's easy to update the machine to use a cheap PID to get more stable temps than were possible with the kinds of switches on older machines.
