This has been the standard "start up kit" for several years now, simple, inexpensive and if you have the patience they will teach you.
And if you dont have the patience there is not a lot of money lost and they can easily be re sold around here.
As a matter of fact, thats how I got my first Norton 4/8 and coticule.
