It's too bad, too Dennis - it's a really nice looking piece of vintage gear. I
still have one stored away for a friend(I gave it to him but he never came and
got it)which someone 'added' some new circuitry to, including three extra pots
across the front panel. Apparently others noticed the deficiencies as well.
