Minimax fs35

Do any of you own a Minimax FS35 they are the older ones kind of a dull yellow color? any concerns on the machine and do they have the tersa knifes? I contacted Minimax but no reply yet

I have one that is yellow and green, probably late 80's. Mine does not have Tersa knives. I don't have any concerns, but it is a pretty basic machine. I might even go so far as to say crude. Still it does what I need it to do, but in my mind, it doesn't compare well with a new Minimax or Felder. On my machine I replaced the orange "pork chop" jointer guard with a euro style one, which was a huge, and space saving improvement.

The older FS35 that is the yellow/gold color will unlikely have Tersa knives. The current FS35 Smart will as does the FS350 I have. (white/blue)
