<sniff> I am getting all misty eyed.
My first electrolysis treatment was done on a Fischer Compu-Blend.
They are about as comfortable as machines of that era can get.
As the electrolysis industry is a rather small cottage industry, even the big manufacturers like Clarablend, Fischer/Hinkel, Dectro, Instantron, Silhouhet Tone, et al have a very few people working to put the machines together.
Aavox, Vector, and a few others are rolled of assembly lines and are hurredly mass produced, with unskilled labor connecting wire A to slot B. It doesn't matter if they solder doesn't last long, as the item is expected to be in the trash in a month or in the junk drawer, or a corner of the attic in no time.

How about the One Touch electrolysis kit? I know it is quite cheap. Is it effective?
What is the best, most effect machine an amateur can buy on E-BAY for DIY?

People have mixed feelings about the One Touch, though it is the only device marketed as a home electrolysis device that can actually work. None of the other cheap "home kits" (Aaverex, Vector, etc., selling for $100+) you find on eBay work.
The One Touch can be had for cheap however (I have seen it for $15 with shipping) and it actually can work. It is a good way for someone to get their feet wet with electrolysis I suppose, and if you feel confident with it you can upgrade to a pro machine. However, the unit does not last long, the treatment options are very limited, it requires batteries, and the probe it uses is huge compared to normal electrolysis probes. Replacement probes are expensive and difficult to find.
If you are absolutely sure you know you want to try DIY electro, just buy a pro machine that is capable of all three modalities and go from there.
