I paid around $420 for each of my Van Staals. One is 12 years old, the other 11. They don't owe me a dime. They also never cost me a dime's worth of service.

The Saltiga cost me about $550. That needs maybe another 3-4 low or no cost years before the account is square, but I don't anticipate it failing.

Most of the Penns I own paid for themselves years ago. I serviced all of them myself. Replaced one shaft in a 704--that cost about $5. Other than that, only drag washers. One Squidder bearing.

The Emblem Pros pretty much don't owe me anything either.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
