Rotex RO 90 DX Multi-Mode Sander just posted.

I bought one of these then saw it is an old model #.  This is 571823 and new is 576263.  I searched the internet, but could not find out the difference.  I am assuming this is just a systainer update?  Hate to think I bought old version of something that had a radical update like the Planex, but systainer not a problem.  Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on differences.

There have been no updates, radical or otherwise, to the RO90 itself in at least the last 5 years since I purchased mine.  Some may consider the Sys3 a "radical" change, but that's just the box it sits in.  To wit, EKAT only shows one tool number for the RO90, 496427, indicating that there have been no changes since it was launched.

Thanks, Squall_line.  I bought a few items earlier this year on Recon, and knew enough to keep the current model # written down so I would not get the older version.  I have seen older models, such as Mini and Midi pre-Bluetooth models on Recon and wanted to avoid that problem. This RO90 popped up too quick for me to research so glad only difference is the systainer.

I have to wonder if it was an original one.  It would be like 5+ years old at this point.  Again I wonder if sometimes they do a conversion on some to help the variety/etc.

I found that curious as well.

Also, it's likely truly an original, not a swap.  It's either a NOS that was sold and returned in the 30-day window, warrantied out in the 3-year window, or it was sent back for repair and deemed too costly by the owner and given up for parts.
