While I've heard *plenty* of horror stories with RC25s, I had one for years
with no problems (it vanished when the company I was loaning it to went out
of business and my "friend" didn't tell me things were going away...) It
worked to the day it left the state.
I can't say much about the one I have now... I got it late last summer and
didn't have time to play with it before I headed South. I'm sure I'll have
time to bust it out next year, though. I might even have to rig up a TU-58
replacement and bypass all the tape fiddling that a 11/725 or 11/730 implies.

P.S. - my RC25 still works, but I could use some carts
for my 11/725
It may work _now_, but as soon as you load an unkown cartridge you'll
have problems :-)
