I have 2, I'm about to dig into.
One is an A1200U - which was in a VERY smoky room for a long time. It seems pretty bound up - but does power on. I suspect this was heavily used. Wood sides.
The other is a A1500 - a portable version, in black metal case with a handle. This one is very clean and shows little sign of use. It runs - seemingly strong for few minutes and the slows suddenly, crawling to a near stop. If I wiggle the speed switch, I can get it to snap back to normal speed again. This one is promising - hopefully a good cleaning and lube will get it back in action.
