There is no such thing as a reliable RA81...

Still...  Most dealers can turn up an unused RA81 still.  There's
really no such thing as low time, all you can do is insist on a
warrenty including eligibility for DEC maintenance.  Check with DEC
on what certification they require this days, it changes.

I've had good luck with Scott Lewton at CST.  Beware of Computer
Clearing House, you'll get no more than you know to ask for in
writing.
