When it comes to used equipment, the best option for long-term personal use is to buy a newer version. The 718 was released in the early 21st century, so older models are likely at least 10 years old.

Regardless of the version, before purchasing, make sure it's a functional machine, that the power supply is normal, and that it can output power correctly. Also, check for any issues with frequency deviation.
