I can't speak for anyone else but I would say
I *was* fond of the Z1100.  For its day it was
an advanced panel -- a good workhorse for
residential and even mid-size commercial
jobs.

They were easy to program, flexible and
IMO well designed.  However, the technology
has advanced way beyond those days and
now it's an antique.

That said, if it can be made to continue
working without much expense or too much
trouble, it's worth saving.  It lasted this long
for a reason.  Moose built strong panels.

If you have a Z100 panel, all he probably
needs is the right side PCB which is behind
the main circuit board.  You could thrown in
main panel as well just in case but IME the
majority of times when a Z1100 gets zapped
only the side board gets fried.
