I've had a 16/600 for quite a few years. I bought it off eBay and had to rebuild it as the rollers were slick and it was scrunching pages as they came out. The rebuild to replace the rollers and belt took a couple of hours with a $40 kit from http://fixyourownprinters.com/ , but it was not hard to do.
Back when Shreve systems was going out of business I scored a brand new 500 sheet feeder for it for $35 and added a fax card from a guy on eBay for about $50. Support for the sending faxes via 16/600 was discontinued with OS 8 but it still works for receiving. To change fax receive parameters, such as what ring to answer on, it is necessary to run the old printer application under OS 9 in Classic mode.
I leave mine on all the time. I should probably check the power usage using my Kill-o-Watt.
