I know this is resurrecting an old thread but I have read through the extensive write up of the nuances of the Discovery 308. I am looking at one too however, if I plan to replace all the electronics and servos with more modern components, how would your assessment change if this machine? Are the mechanical tidbits strong enough to warrant a rebuild of the machine and bringing it to the modern age? I believe this is also a Romi built machine, no?
