you need to modify most. You can also use a fuser from a dead  
printer/copier, but you might need to modify that too.
Usually it's only a matter of removing some spacer or filing something or  
adding something, should not be a problem for anyone with basic mechanical  
skills. If you are one of those people that can't even assemble flatpack  
furniture (i do believe they only exist on TV, nobody can really be that  
stupid), get a laminator that accepts boards already (doesn't pulsar sell  
one??).
