Thanks, blue_lateral, I appreciate you chiming in. This thing is a bit more "buried" now than it was when it first appeared. I avoided looking at it too closely then, too many projects on the table already, and limited storage space.( Now I'm thinking Fotno may store it for me

! Just don't tell his wife where it came from... she knows where I live.)
Seriously, I now think it is worth a closer look, even if I just pass it off to someone else who is interested in saving it. It is a cool looking piece, and I hate to see it sitting there neglected. I'll see if I can locate a model number without re-arranging the store...
(and BTW blue, good luck on the high-voltage wire!)
