Glen, Thanks for the reply. The only reason I bought the Amaya was because of the cylidrical small arm. Otherwise I would have chosen a Happy. I am sorry I will not be interested in your older version XT. Good luck Anand The XT was released in September 2005, The official release was mid Januar= y 2006 to coincide with the ISS show in Long Beach=2E The pre release XT machines were Red/White or Red/Grey with the machines sold from Feb 2006 a= combination of Red/ Grey & Black/Grey I did training on the new XT machines in Colorado in late January and they= were all Red/Grey=2E The main asthetical / mechanical differance was the smaller 'arm' & the updated cap frame thaty didn't require a change to the plate on the arm & allowed for a bigger stitch area=2E Thedre was also the change to the thread feed however this was an update available to earlier model machines=2E There is also the serial number that signifies the machine model difference=2E This was the subject of an earlier thread=2E=20 Glenn Global Embroidery Original Message: ----------------- From: Kesavan kesavan@bigpond=2Enet=2Eau Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2006 13:29:39 +1000 To: amayausers@freelists=2Eorg Subject: [amayausers] amaya xt Could some please tell me when the Amaya XT came out Thanks Anand -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web=2Ecom/ =2E
