I e-mailed Fred at MM's and inquired about a date for the large roller version of the MM. He was finishing design and said it would be Summer.
Then a couple days later, he sends another email and says it is done and will be in production within a month-maybe sooner.
I have decided to go with a new 2" 3-roller MM, and not use the Maltmill I was given for free. Strictly because Schmidling wouldn't give ANY specs about it so I could refurbish it myself. I had asked for a diameter dimension of the OD of the knurled surface and what the bushing number was. Only response was, 'it is knurled on a big machine, send it to us, and we can put in new bushings for you.'
Yeah, I lashed out.
I would rather support a New Venture with proven customer respect for the product AND owner than support a guy with just his hand out.
If you have questions on new product releases from MM, I suggest you email him and not wait for him to find a posted question here-he will get right back with you.
