My O1W had the repairs I detailed before...heavy use button wear; re[placed those in the plastic only..(14 buttons).. and the backlight & new batt....It still is perfect...No probs...Electroluminecent backlight..(See the thread on Backlight Material) near perfect...cost 20..(Gone up to 22 bucks for the kit now...

For a few years, we used it sev. hrs day in concert..for several years addition...used without turning off much of the time...dropped twice...leave it on all the time now...arrange simple church mus. for a childrens choir..and print it off.

The case is REALLY excellent...If it were even a Lexus, ir would show more actual wear..the black is perfect..matt is matt, shiny is shiny...plastic is perfect...cleaned it with damp clth ...very lite spray of armor all...thats all I ever did...

You Can't complain when things work this well in this throw-away world of today...!!!!

Yes, the unit is built like a tank. I bought mine when they were first released and I only changed the battery for the first time about four months ago. Some of my very best stuff was done solely on the O1/Wfd. I'm very fond of that beast. Smile

Kind regards.

Thanks for the confirm, Dave..I also used mine for many things...And am now ready to buy...but I am old, and the O1W is still....so beautiful!! In sound as well as condition! I will buy a Triton if I like it well enough after a full rehash..otherwise I will be looking...

Many Thanks!!! John (Commonly called ellll)

It was built a lot stronger than most things produced today!
