The biggest problem I see is that there may be a rust problem..  the 
various QST reviewers did a lot of slobbering and drooling all over the 
thing :-)

We've joked around around that, but I really think it's unlikely at this level.  
For example there was never a 781-II.  And at some point, they will begin 
delivering firmware enhancements to keep things going.

I'd certainly like one on the desk, but I'd have to file for divorce first, and 
then I probably wouldn't have enough left after that :-)
