Thanks for your well-wishes
This machine cost more and gave more angst than any other I've acquired, but it's splendid just to look at and certainly worth it.
We never had a combo, or knew of anyone who did. I know from asking my Mom in the 70s that she didn't have a high opinion of them, although I suspect she was just echoing my father's reticence to buy anything with more than three buttons on it. He was an aircraft mechanic and was a firm believer that "parts that don't exist don't need to be fixed."
Several of you have commented on the styling of the control board, and I must confess, this reason alone is why I got this unit. I really love the understated monochrome styling and the panel-in-panel design. It reminds me very much of the best of automotive design at this time. Had it been another year, I probably would have passed on it.
I don't plan on doing anything with it for the moment. Money is just too tight and what might have gone into it went to have it professionally moved when it became apparent I could not round up labor in timely way.
I am going to ask that if any of you have literature/manuals for this model or a similar one to let me know and I'll be happy to pay for the trouble of having them scanned.
If there's anything else I need to know about this unit, please let me know.
