Kyle,

As long as you are prepared to either a) loose your money and/or b) have 
very low expectations about the performance of the back, go for it. Given he 
has no manufacturing experience and hasn?t seem to have solved the dust 
problem, I would expect something that works about the same level as a 
Brownie.

An used M-8 is far more practical. :-) 

Regards,
Spencer
