My Astron RS35M, same as RS35A but with meters on the front, has been 
running continuously since I bought it 12 years ago, reason I bought it? I 
had problems with a switching power supply and everyone told me I'd have no 
problem if I get this one. So far, so good. I know with the strain I give it 
daily it probably will need some minor work sometime soon, but so far, so 
good.
