Yes, but $150 only covers the basic machine.  By the time you add in an
external disk drive and Imagewriter, the price is more like $260 (what
I paid for it).  While a bit high, this may still be cheaper than forking
out cash for blown analog or digital boards (especially when labor gets
added in).
