Have one of the last sold in '93.  Price vs performance makes it
unbeatable.   Will hear anything the latest, greatest, $3500 rigs 
will hear.   Fairly easy to service if you are so inclined...  If a 
better rig is out there for the money, I'd like to know about it.

That being said,   I'm thinking about parting with mine.   Simply
because I've been staring at it for 9 years!   Still works like new.
Newer rigs do have more buttons to push.   Little else, really.

You'll need an aftermarket ROM board if it's not already in there.
I like the "Nardo" board from Italy.   Set you back about $55 and
shipping.   Bunch of guys use the 751A.   Contact some locally
and order several boards at a cheaper price.
