I'm an OM in a single Dr. practice and our dentist passed away very unexpectedly. Ultimately the practice is headed towards being sold but I am hoping anyone that has been through a similar situation can offer any advice.

So far the following steps have been taken:

Staff has been notified

Cancelled Monday/Tuesday schedules, will likely be cancelling the entire week.

Scheduled a meeting with a dentist to discuss covering the office on Monday

Emailed CPA and benefits coordinating company to discuss next steps on Monday

Will be visiting the bank on Monday with the surviving spouse to figure out bank access to ensure we can process payroll for next week

I know there will be a lot more involved in the coming weeks and any advice or guidance from anyone that's gone through something similar would be greatly appreciated. Definitely in uncharted territory here and just want to support the staff and family left behind to the best of my ability.

There is a CTX3030 for sale near me for $600. Is it worth it considering the newer machines on the market today?

I typically hunt in the woods around old cellar holes in New Hampshire. I'm currently using an X-Terra Pro that I got as a gift a couple years ago. I get out about once a week and am ready to invest a bit more but can't justify $1,000+ for a machine.

I'm open to other suggestions at a similar price point if there are better options available for my use.
