The 6000 Di pro, with the 950 loop was ...... and still is ....... an extremely popular machine. They are still quite verstaile for a multitude of different hunt needs. A great general all-around machine. Maybe not as deep seeking as today's power-houses, but there are still followers of this machine who refuse to update. Whatever price you might pay to get it re-furbished, it is my guess that you would still come ahead, as far as value on the used market. Ie.: I suspect there is still a demand for the 6000 di pro. You could double check that by reviewing the "completed auctions" on ebay. That "completed auctions" section only goes back 30 days though, so you might have to check back a few times, to see if any have closed, the # of bidders vying, the closed price, etc.....
