Hi all.  I have a TMV7A that I bought several years ago for $150.  The
display is vertually useless now, but other than that, it works well. 
The internal speaker is also going, but I always use an external speaker
with it!  The major drawback of this rig is that the menu's don't speak
at all.  When you press the menu button, it just says "Menu" and that is
it!  There are a couple of work arounds for dealing with the menu's, but
generally, they are pretty much a pain to set.  If anyone gets one orf
these rigs, I do have the manual in accessible format and the file
describing the work arounds.
