The switch between the BA-10 and AX-15 was mid-89 or whenever they ran out of parts...

I had 140k on my first one and now 121k on my second... Hopefully I will have an AX-15 in time for the next failure.

3) Spits its fluid everywhere, which left unchecked leads to the above failures as well

The overheating can be a problem, but as stated, can be fixed.
Other than that I love my 88

I love my 88 too. I have beat the snot out of it and it is still a great rig to my surprise. I'm sure I have a few things I should fix but it is a dependable dd.
