Thanks Jim. I like the later ones too, although I'm leaning toward an older one b/c...1) they're cheaper - I'm trying to stay under $5k, and 2) the m103 is easier to work on.

I'm just beginning to understand how to work on my vehicles, and while I'm excited to understand these gassers, I don't want to screw myself over by getting some too complicated for my simple brain!

All that said, if I can find one that's been well cared for (with documentation), I'll spring for a later one.
