If Oleo-mac=Efco (I think that's right), then make 1000% certain that spare parts aren't an issue since I've found sourcing spares for my Efco 156/Oleo-Mac 956 (which is otherwise absolutely ace IMO) to be incredibly slow.

 

For example, forget about getting anything from Italy during August/September since the entire factory closes for August, and September is spent catching-up with orders.

the place is the main agent in east Anglia for oleo-mac did ask about parts and they said they carry most needed parts in stock and they sell the efco's as well but the same mt8200 is about 70 pound more money but there info ticket did say 3 years warranty

doesn't seem a lot of power to me, may be wrong...
