Hi Gail
We have, untill last month, been using a Milligen 9050. This is a robust
machine (in our experience) and faithfully served us for 10 years. The
9050's are not Y2K compatible, but I guess you can reset the clock to
continue use. However, the biggest problem with the "old" model is the
unavailability of parts (we waited for a replacement board for 4 months
and then were lucky to get a board from a different vendor that was
compatible). The list of parts that are no longer available will only
increase....
We now have a Pioneer, so far so good...
