A student showed up with a set of Rubner machines that looked quite nice, though not just to my taste in appearance. They seemed to be made to the usual high German machining standards. The price for their standard Hauser style is around $75, and if you want ball bearings on the ends of the rollers it's around $125.
I've ordered a set of gold colored Hauser style, with "ivoroid" grips and rollers, which are more to my taste visually. Has anybody used Rubners and got an opinion about them?
