Does your Griot's DA say PROFESSIONAL random orbital on the side?

I'm not imagining things, but the last 3 I ordered were weak(all didn't say professional), plain and simple. I just ordered one from eBay, and it says professional, so if it's more powerful than the previous 3 I ordered, I will believe there is a difference in some machines. If it's weak as well, then the first one I have is just a freak!

They're referring to the first generation Griot's, I'm not.

Big disappointment for me in Richard Griot

The first one I had was a freak too! I really miss that machine and wish now that I would've duct taped it back together and made due with it that way. I was not expecting Griots to pull the ole switcha rama on me with this new weaker unit

Look forward to seeing how this new unit turns out. If its the real deal I want at least two of them before they become totally extinct

If this new one pans out, yup, I'm gonna locate another one.

hmmm interesting thread. I just order the 6" this thursday night using the memorial day promo sale code. It says it will be here Thursday the 31st. So we'll see which one i end up with. A buddy of mine bought his 1.5 yrs ago and his says "professional" on it. Hopefully mine does as well.
