I've used White's machines for decades, but got away from them recently(for lighter machines) due to health problems. As some may know, I bought a used Spectrum XLT(rainbow motif) recently for a low, low price. I got my support harness today, so I'm looking forward to trying it out soon. Anyway, are the older models more preferable to some of you? I used to own an Eagle Spectrum, and used it for 10 or more years. It was probably my all-time favorite, but it got heavy when my arthritis kicked-in.

Spectrum XLT or newer XLT (much difference?)
- Thread starter Dirt Poor
- Start date
first-issue XLT with version 1.0 software. Other than that, the version 1.1 software was used in the early "rainbow" series as well as the current E-series. models. I missed the XLT and after tinkering around some more I decided to add one back into my working battery. Got it a week ago Friday in pristine (new) condition for $275. 
Being all 'stoved-up' is the pits, but since I am not a big-coil fan I take care of the comfort issue by adding a 6

Oh, I got my XLT with a few extras for 150.00. A man bought it 3 years ago from another man. Man # 1 bought it new, and used it a fair amount, but it looks great. Man #2 NEVER used it, and it stayed zipped-up in the case for 3 years. He told me he paid 400.00 for it used, and I asked him what he expected to get for it. He said "200.00-half what I paid". So I offered him 150 and he took it. 
Yeah, Im paying $425 to get one with the 9.5" coil and the small snooper. They hold their value pretty well in the hobby.Dan-o said:Monte said:I missed the XLT and after tinkering around some more I decided to add one back into my working battery.

Man, at that price I would add one to my arsenal as well. I'm jealous
Well, I found someone that had an X-terra 70 with 2 coils and the works, so I put the XLT on "fee-bay" with a "buy it now" of 350.00. Somebody hit the buy-it-now 2 nights ago(right after listing it), and they have ZERO transactions. I have not been able to get ANY type of response from them. So, y'all know the story......It's gonna take alot to get fee-bay to refund the sales commision for a sale that didn't take place, and the idiot probably didn't want the machine, so he's not gonna respond. I had the machine listed on here(first), but it dissapeared.
Shouldn't have used the Buy It Now option. If you wanted to run a fixed price, classified ad there are plenty of places that will do that for free. Not just findmall, by the way.Dirt Poor said:
