We got my mom one ~20 years ago. It came from Edelweiss. She has (had?) a nearly century old and much, much nicer one that was simply too costly to have restored and fixed. I think it's still kicking around.
You can actually disable or bypass the "####oo" sound with a switch on the back. I can't handle having an annoying ass disrupting noise going off regularly, and never could.
The new one has never needed service or repair, just blow it with compressed air and give it a wipe with a damp cloth every now and then. I *may* have oiled it once upon a time, but I'm not sure.
