Hi Mike,
We have two of the VIP 3000's, they are true workhorses. One of ours is
from 1969 and still processing without any issues. Make sure that you do
have a company nearby that can work on them. You can still find parts for
them, I tend to only get parts that are used though. I don't know if
Sakura makes new parts.
Good luck!
Patrick
