They are very handy machines and I personally like them. Big thing with those are they are not real big machines so as long as you are realistic with what you can do with them, you should be very happy with the performance. They were discontinued a few years ago when the T110 came out. I don't why as the T110 was a smaller machine and not a good replacement for a T140, unless you needed to fit into spots a T140 a was too big for.
