I have one that is fairly new and I just put it in service but the thing about the older ones is they have the older cords that get brittle easier. I plan on replacing all my 6105’s in a month or so at which time it will be available for sale.
In case you didn’t know, the built in controller on the newer 6105’s can be defeated and it will work just like the older ones.
Also, if you have all the parts to a 6105, you can buy a new motor block from roger through the Tunze forum here on reef central.

Lucky for you it broke before I sold it to you.
the early ones had a problem with the center shaft wobble in after not enough years. that's what this one did.

I bought it used so I don't know but I've had it about 3 years.
Why the preference for the older ones? Roger sells replacement motor blocks for under $100, I would replace the large C clips at the same time as the get lose.
If not tunze, then what? I've tried MP40s but don't like the fact you can't point them or stuff hanging on the outside of the tank. Neptune seems good but still can't point. Gyre is a good option but IMO tunze better and that leaves the Jeabo type stuff.

I just ordered 3 replacements and will be changing them out this weekend. One of mine is the older style
