I remember calling Tom Armstrong at N Complete almost 20 years ago to inquire about a refurbished 860 or 861. He asked me: "What, you don't want an N?" I yelled "NO" into the phone and he laughed. He told me about picking up Ns for around $550 way back then. He had his scouts out looking for them and some of the places he was finding them.
