I bought a very slightly used one from someone here a couple months back and I'm very happy with it so far. If all you need are XLR or 1/4 inputs it works just fine. Only tested the onboard mics a little and they sound ok, as good as could be expected for the price I suppose.

If you want to record 4 tracks at once you have to use the onboard mics for two of them. I use the deck with my Nak 300 mics and see no issues. Battery life seems pretty good so far, it takes 3 AA batteries.

I'm looking into getting some attenuators for when I record directly from a soundboard. I've done that twice so far and although the results were good I was not happy that I couldn't control the input levels. The levels defaulted to some sort of automatic mode and the recordings came out fine.
