Authentic or a remake?
Ive been seeing this little guy on our local Craigslist for a few weeks... but to me it looks too perfect/new to be the old one. Plus, these were mint green, right? Not aqua... What do you think? Has this model been remanufactured lately?

I think you're right on the model Cari. They're descended from the 99 and 185 machines but had a major redesign underneath.
One of these was just discussed recently though I don't remember which thread.

The 99 and 185 are good machines the 285 is not so good underneath. It has funky gears - seems kind of fragile to me. I parted out the one I had - it also had some broken plastic. The case was fine though.
