RB, that is one rare sucker, I'd be sure to take it in a night and think about the Antique Roadshow the next time it comes your way.

I don't doubt it. I've had it for many years and I still have the ac adapter for it. That comes in handy sometimes as the unit runs on four AA batteries and they run down within a few hours. In the van it's powered through a 6v adapter that's connected to the vans fuse box.

Yeah, I find that with a lot of older electronics. I had a camera that would take about 10 or 15 pictures before the batteries needed to be changed. The one I have now, that's probably six years old, will take maybe a hundred or more shots before needing recharge. Things are getting more efficient, remember the old 7400 IC logic chips? The 4000 series used a fraction of the power than the older ones use, now we have most everything in one chip and again, at the fraction of power the old circuits used. Meanwhile, batteries are getting better as well...
