Any info on an original (serial #3, 1988) API 3124M ?

So I can pick this up for $1800 from a reputable dealer in NYC. I don't know the history too well but the guy said they were made originally in a very limited quantity, then discontinued until recently at which time different opamps were used. He also said he can hardly hear a difference.

I'd love to own a HEDD, a FATSO, the OXFORD EQ & COMP plugins etc. that everyone is saying are all essential for those of us working in the digital domain.

Original ELA M 251 vs new 251?

Forums

Fletcher, maybe you can shed some light on this for me. I'd like to know what the differences may be between the telefunken elam 251 and the lawson and sounddelux "replicas" I'm not looking for a "which one sounds better" comparison but what might some of the electrical or mechanical differences be. are these new ones exact copies ? are they improved ? ya know, what gives?
