They come around less frequently, but still are around. A bit more limited in features and quality of build.
Here's a link to a discussion here about the Mark 2. Locally two showed up on Craigslist today, one for $50 and one for $100.

I bought one out of curiosity last year for cheap. Was a total waste of money,letterk wrote:They come around less frequently, but still are around. A bit more limited in features and quality of build.

Where is the drive hub that comes out of serial number plate? It looks like cover is loose and missing screws, but shouldn't there be a shaft even if the hub is missing? Yes, $10 and it will be right back to running.

Looks like the cover is pulled back enough to hide the lower shaft.
