Apex classic worth it ?

[Diyreef8401]

I have the opportunity to buy an older apex. Is it worth it or save up for the current gen.

 

[link81]

yes. the only thing currently that the apex classic can't do is the trident. everything else is compatible via an add on module.

How much? Impossible to say whether it’s ‘worth it’ without knowing the price LOL. $25 .... worth it; $500 .... not worth it. Also, how old. I worry about old hobby grade equipment .... particularly a controller. Dumped my classic after it turned 5.

Still does the job with reliability and support

It’s listed for 300 he said he will take 250. It is allegedly 3 years old

Devils always in the details. Are the probes old or new. Figure if you have to replace the probes you’re in EL territory. I don’t personally sink $$ into discontinued electronics.

What are you getting for $250 any power bars included? Old probes are a gamble and not worth it.
If it is just the head unit alone then forget it.

For $200 you can get the classic, eb8, temp probe, and display on ebay. If you dont plan to run the trident I think one would be a fool to get a brand new >2016 unit. Extra EB8s go for $100. Get a brs lab grade pH probe for $60 and you are set.
