I love mine. Both roller and vibration sensing. As fat as I'm aware only the Wolf offer both nowadays

I had the analogues then the blue digitals, I agree, best alarms ever made for me other than the battery connection wires which harden and break. Wonder if the new fox alarms use connection plates instead of a clip on connector? If they do I would say virtually bullet proof and ultra reliable
Stick with my STR digitals while they are still working, very similar to the RX and been reliable for me. Said it now
If I was to upgrade it would be some new ones

I thought only the lxrs had this, hence why they have a seperate vibration sensing knob

. . .on RX Digitals sensing is on a single nob - turn left for vibration / turn right for roller wheel - most of the time I left mine in between the two (12 o clock) for both roller and vibration at the same time; unless it was pissing with rain / blowing a hooligan wind
All this RX talk is making me emotional - knew I shouldn't have shifted them . . .

as Belch has said.
The other thing I like is the use of proper knobs rather than pressing buttons to access menus.
No pairing with the receiver necessary or to go wrong, I know this can be a problem if you want to add an alarm of a certain colour but I've never had to do that.
Only annoying thing is having to cover the sound hole when turning them on because of the bleeps.

Swapped my set of mk2 Nevs for a set of rx digitals all blue last year. All it's cost me is £30 for a new Aerial on the receiver from daletronics. Good as new and brilliant alarms. Felt like I got a bargain anyway

I just used to turn the volume off when switching on / fiddling with bobbins etc - most of the time I left the volume fully off at the alarm head and used the receiver all the time (switching it on once rods were settled etc)
TXI-ds have an excellent mute button for this very reason - however its **** when the receiver is left on as it doesn't auto mute on the receiver so you basically have to use it in the same way as RX's (unless I've set them up wrong - don't know the button press for this function)

. . .they look as good as any (no scratches / dings etc) to me - like I say get some vids emailed or better still meet in the middle and view before parting with £ - the old ways are the best!
Would not go for a set with a broken aerial - they're prob fine functionality wise but to me it means the seller doesn't look after their kit so this could potentially infer more issues (dropping heads / not protecting them etc)
As someone has mentioned the 'DIGITAL' bit of the logo did change on later facelift releases however the functionality did not change - ALL RX's have ***** wiring and battery caps that are easy to damage when swopping out batteries (the compartment is tight) so whatever you do would send them to Del at Dalectronics and get the caps switched out to more modern ones - whilst your at it get him to check the nobs as they can sometimes become very loose and therefore dysfunctional (they should be stiffish to rotate)
Good luck

Another set have gone up on eBay originals he has had new aerial fitted by Dale Eletronics these are £300 would you say the ones released after the originals are better version ?

Some but not all of the originals had receiver batteries that wouldn't last long.
The mark two's don't so could be the better bet.
As for broken aerials my mates broke and he looks after them, he hardly uses them, could've gone brittle due to lack of use.
When they break it's only the plastic covering the actual aerial, they still work ok.
If the battery life on the mk1 receiver bugs you Dalectronics can do the modification. £30ish If I remember
