I also bought a 2004 lc4896 and asked Techno the same question. They told me there was not any significant changes and parts were still available.
Looking to buy a used lc4896. Are there any mechanical or software differences from their 2004 model and a 2010 model?

It's true. There have been no major changes to the LC, and our stock room is gigantic so we'll have spare parts if you need them.
Software has changed pretty significantly, but it's free. Download the newest version at TechnoCNC Router Software.
