sadly i have to say yes
VERY unreliable..this is why they were discountinued
they sold like hot cakes for Excalibur but the defect rate was enormous




 I take it that the marble Mirage is just as rare as
>the 6124?

well this i cannot say exactly
both are VERY rare but if i had to say whiich is the rarest i would say the 6124

I know of only two collectors that admit to owning one(myself included)



>They must have had a very short production time on those.


yes and also it was an unusually placed computer inbetween the normal 6100(no
voice, no motion detectors) and the 6126(voice and motion detectors)

if someone wanted a Phantom and did not want to spend more they would pick the
6100..if the money was not a problem ,then they would pick the 6126

why choose an inbetween Phantom with not all of the features of the 6126?
i think the difference in price was $100 more for the 6124 and only $150 more
for the 6126 if i recall correctly..if not that ..exactly something close to it
so very few of these were sold

6150 Regards
Steve
