Interesting thread Sevins, thanks for posting.
I started with a 1st Gen in 1985 with an unfired Pre Md 39 which was already 30 years old.
I totally missed all of the 2nd Gens and it wasn't until the late 1990s that I bought a new 4516-2 which I still have and love.
Then came this forum in 2013 and all of you enablers led me to my all-time favorite semi, the 4506. And after that, well, several others.
And finally, I have recently purchased a 2nd Gen, Model 745 ANIB with tools, docs etc. Pictures and text coming soon.
