Apache AL13P, I have two of them, on one is in the box has not been 
opened and is a backup. For a while they were really cheap so I bought a 
spare. The kit is worth it, not only for the PCB features but also for 
the safety features, there is no over temperature sensor or circuit to 
shut off the laminator but the board monitors the temperature and shuts 
the heaters off to prevent fires from over temperature, and has a cool 
down mode to allow the rollers to cool down so they don't deform.

The ALP13P is very heavy duty but has one major failing, it doesn't have 
an over temperature sensor to prevent fires
