I've worked with some loud cart machines before, but none
that loud.  As long as the machine was behind the mike
there wasn't a problem.  I used to take old cart machines
off people's hands because I have so many old carts; I
was always afraid I wouldn't have a working machine when I
needed to get something out of the "archive".  But, I had
to close the cart machine orphanage to new admissions when
I ran out of shelf space in my workshop.  I'd take this one
to save it from a terrible fate, but I'm not sure where I'd
put it.
