Older model, looks like the one on the picture. A little under 6000 run hours, works well. I bought it used after failing on CPAP and Bilevel - being unable to convince several doctors that ASV could help me. It worked, and finally I was able to get a new ASV through the insurance, so don't need this one anymore.
$325 shipped or $300 FTF in Seattle area. PM me.

Isn't that a ResMed 7? I believe that's not a data capable machine, and really old architecture. Something Pugsy would call a brick. However, I'll let he chime in on this one.

I don't know if that one is a brick or not. I don't know much about the older ResMed ASV type of machines and when they started becoming data capable and which models when they did.
Not all S7 models were bricks though. I once had a S7 VPAP and it had data available on the LCD screen and it wasn't the ASV model. So I wouldn't automatically assume this machine above is a brick.
One would need to figure out exactly which series (S7 or whatever) model and get the clinical manual to figure it out.
I can't comment one way or the other on this machine and no time to go research it.
I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.

I was considering a similar machine at about your price as an emergency backup, however I got lucky and scored an almost new ResMed S9 Adapt from a member for a bit more than twice your asking price (sweet), therefore I'm pretty well set up in the ASV department. Still I think your machine would be a very capable backup machine if you like ResMed's proscribed breathing algorithm/regimen, that is: breathe right now, dammit, breathe. I'm just kidding, they are fine machines. Besides, I'm sure you will consider all offers and work with various buyers Regarding data capability: Who needs it if you're shipping your main whistles and bells machine out for repair or whatever... two weeks max in most cases. You can live without data.
I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

Ah I missed some activity in my thread
It is a data capable machine, but it does not have an SD card slot - instead there is a serial port or something. My doctor was able to pull usage and AHI data from it, although I don't have proper cable and could only see AHI/usage data on LCD screen, but not to import it to sleepyhead as I did with s9
It might serve as a backup for someone (although I need to tell that algorithm is different from s9 ASV - you can easily feel it breathing), or as a cheap ASV for someone without insurance

I wish I could get this as a backup, but I am too poor, so I am giving you a bump.
