Should have been the GEN1 but still good

The upgrade adds a much needed feed speed adjustment to the device and can be undertaken with relative ease. I don't love have to drill into the base, I think it looks bad, but it can be cleaned up easily enough. You also have to make new holes with the screws that the instruction video says are self-tapping, but they're not. They're just ordinary screws, so you have to be careful with how much pressure you're putting on the plastic housing.

The speed adjustment is a screw mounted to the PCB, which I don't love. There have been a couple of concerns raised about keeping up with the tiny screwdriver. I'll probably glue a knob to it or something. It's also possible to knock the card sensors out or out of alignment, which is something to be careful of.

If you have any issues, folks in discord (including TCGArchivist) are pretty active.

Overall, it was a much needed upgrade and simple to apply. Most of the issues are with the scanning apps, not the machine itself. If you intend to use this with TCGPlayer, maybe don't do that instead.
