[Gristmillers] MERRY CHRISTMAS - new mill

[jgenola at cox.net]

Just my 2 cents, but it is based on first hand information.  The people at meadows will tell you anything you want to here.  If you are in need of new parts, they are pretty good about that.  If you want a new item from them, mill, sifter,etc., they have good stuff (but be prepared to spend LOTS).

If you want a used item or mill, my best advise is to STAY AWAY!
Just my 2 cents, but it's not based on hear-say.
