Thanks everyone for your input.

Good little machine. From the 1515MF, the 161 and 171 I've heard good stuff from customers. It's a small convenient machine - don't try some off the wall application and expect it to work flawlessly. I find people don't want to spend any money and want everything. You get what you get. Good and reliable!

Absolutely True.

it is good reliable machine, up until you got an adress book data error then you need a new controller board. i've replaced 3 out in the field and i hope they were just a bad batch.

Top boxes. Rarely have a call for these which isnt PM related. No A3 is a bummer. Display leaves a bit to be desired.

We have loads of these about I love them, if I had to work on one model only this would be it. I had one controller board blow due to a power outage one PF clutch and maybe 2 duff fax cards as far as serious problems.

Easy to get apart.. easy to clean.. easy to fix.. very reliable I have seen a couple of the old machines up to 600K without trouble.
