Lin,,
>   Do you find the Fidelity machines to be unreliable?

well i would have to say no.. not really
as most of my Fidelities were bought brand new when first released.. i can say
that i have not had many go bad on me..yet
the Elegence was a very finicky computer and very prone to reed switch defects
but again.so far ..i have been lucky with both the Elegance A and B

oddly enough..for me..the large heavy wooden Mephisto boards have caused me alot
of grief
while hardly any collector i know has had defect problems with these sturdy
boards i have already had an ESB II and ESB 6000 board go belly up on me and i
even tried having the ESB II repaired by sending it to Europe but i got it back
in the same defective state i  sent it in

sometimes i think its just the luck or the "no luck "of the draw

Waxing Philosophic Regards
