Some friends of mine recently sent in their 520ST to Atari under the "exchange
plan and got back a brand new 520 ST, for $95.
 
According to Neil Harris, Atari has put aside a number of new machines for
thi)s exchange plan, so you don't have to worry about getting
a "reconditioned" ST...   the one my friends received was obviously a new
machine, in fact it was the most recent version of the 520 ST motherboard...

This "exchange plan" is one of the shining stars in an otherwise rather
bleak Atari universe...
