@el_kapitan. Yea ive had mine for about a year now as well and it's is still running great as well. The fake leather looking panels came unglued but i honestly think it looks better w out them. The only other minor issue i get intermittently is the weak battery pop up but its rare. Other than that i no longer ever even look 4 single battery mods cuz owning the vt75c makes everything else seem like a down grade.
