The nice thing about these is they last forever given proper care. I dont think most people that arent collectors would be interested because as much as I love my A407 and it runs well for a 44 year old machine, the one thing my friends say when I tell them about it is " Damn! That thing must use a ton of water!". In an area like mine where we pay a neighboring town a sewer use tax thats high plus high water bills everyone is very water conscious. Im not sure how it is water wise in other parts of the country. As a tenant I dont get a water bill every 3 months, its the law water is included in the rent.
