I can tell you from experience that at 46 my machine is really starting to
wear out. I can tell by the squeaks and growns in movements that used to
be fluid, as well as some dulling of the edges.

Dear Geoffrey and list:

I ask this having no experience at all with gougers:
How long is it before a machine wears out?
How does one tell it's worn out?
