Hi Tony
No, not a Stainsby, but a metal, good quality Dymo gun. I've had it for
years. I think the Dymo machines you buy nowadays are plastic and much
lighter, but I am still very much attached to the one I bought from
George at Techno-Vision Systems a long time ago!

Well jackie!
You bought a Stainsby from George?
Ah well, must have been a great "little" machine then! *smile*
