If this machine can still be of use to someone, I would like to donate it to you. You pay exact shipping and it's yours.

I got you mikeyb, If you can use this machine its yours, just pay exact shipping. Let me know what kind of mask you use and size and I will see if I can help u out with that too.

[houstonrockets83]

I want to make sure this machine will actually help mikeyb, or is it too old? Can some of the experts please chime in on this? Just want to make sure he can use this machine with his prescription.

Unless his pressure needs exceed 20 cm or he needs one of the high end ASV machines for some reason (like excessive centrals) then this machine should cover his basic needs.
The manual can be obtained from here

I have forgotten exactly which older machine it was but I think it was one of the old Legacy series machines. It's a work horse of a machine....it just has some age to it and limited features (that most of us like) but it still blows air really well.
Very nice of you to donate the machine to someone in need.

It's one of these. Maybe the one without C-Flex.:

OK. Maybe it was the "Pro" model which was discontinued in 2005. These instructions for the Pro 2 will work.
