I sure wish we lived closer because I have a treadmill that I would give you
a super price on. I'm getting rid of a lot of my stuff in preparation for my
big move into the new house, and we have decided to sell our treadmill. It
is a basic machine that I can completely control, e.g. various speeds,
programs, etc. Unfortunately, it is too heavy to ship. I'm selling it for
only $75; it cost me around $650 new, and it isn't all that old.

With a bit of tactile put on the control panel, the Rebok XR-8 which in the
UK sells for about 600 pounds, about 900 dollars.  However, usually price
comparisons are pound to dollar, so possibly 600 dollars.

Ok, I know this is off topic, but if any of you are within range, I will
talk to you on whatever band you wish within reason, from a treadmill if I
get one.  So now that this is related to ham radio, I'm hoping for some
wisdom and instruction from this awesome list.  I have been thinking of
getting a treadmill for years to enhance my walking to get in better
condition but keep putting it off.  I know that many pieces of exercise
equipment wind up in garages or getting resold.  Am just wondering what your
collective experiences are with treadmills? I know you can buy fancy ones
that have video screens that let you experience hiking through various
environments like the Alps, beaches,  etc.  
that change the grade and difficulty of the walk corresponding with the
visuals you are watching, but I don't need anything nearly that
sophisticated.  I just want a simple durable, no video screen treadmill.  If
some of you can impart wisdom which can lead me in the right direction here,
that would be terrific.  
Would just like some average costs, brands, and if possible ratings for
durability.  73, Jim WA6EKS
