Heiko I know what you mean, here in the Netherlands we have the same problem. I was lucky to get hold of my proxxon, but when I need parts it can take up to a month to get here. I will just have to be patient and start advertising a bit more to make the money for a hegner. If you don't mind me asking where about in Germany do you live. I live in the North of the Netherlands, jus about 20km from the German border, the train to Leer goes through my town every 30 minutes.
Thanks for the info Heiko.
