I to lust after such a rig. I would have to guess that after a while no matter how well this unit is built it still is going to need a part or proper maintance. You should find out before a purchase if parts are ready avalible and a tech that knows this unit or Micro Seiki tables. I would serious look at the Mcintosh MT-10 table that is in the same price range used. It seems very well built and simple by members who have this table to set up and maintain and from a company that still in buisness.
