Fast forward to the mid-'90s and that machine sold for $3,500.00. So markets change and someone can say, well .... a this or a that will never be worth .....whatever. But you never know. I forget, if I hadn't already posted , I use Krylon Preserve It for back labels and "Hard As Nails" polish for end labels. Won't shellac turn yellow and flake over time ?
