Out of my price range too By a huge amount.. the 1995 sheet I think
called it just a ModelMaker or perhaps even another name... no number
and no Pro was attached to the name and it would do models about 3
by 5 by about 1 1/2 in high as best I can recall I think they were
selling the more expensive Pro or perhaps announced it or had some
info on it as a future product...

Or perhaps I am Recalling an entirely different Machine seen at the
same show... I do know I had a flyer for a $20,000 machine that I saw
at the the show that year... but now I am starting to doubt my own
name(g)...
