Ran into the same problem about 20 years ago. So now I make sure if
there is nothing on the equip marked Made in the USA, I take along
either an original catalog or manual, one time only had a
advertisement but it is what did the trick.

Guys, thanks for all the feedback. A challenge? Absolutely. But this is
likely as close as I'll ever come to having a first generation machine,
something unfathomable to me as a kid.
Apologies for the radio-silence, we've put 1200+ miles under our belts
since Monday morning. Today we cross into Alberta. Will keep you all posted
on how it goes.
Thanks,
Cory
While you are where you can do it, if you are transporting it back, make
sure that all parts have the Made in USA clearly located for US customs. I
encountered some blockheads when I crossed over carrying some material from
Canada a few times. Only was able to trump the nonsense when one of them
found a hard to read "Made in USA" that my partner had stuck in the etch on
a lark.
Hangup was all the foreign content IC's with "Made in <far east>".
Though
less of a problem with older equipment, it might be a problem.
thanks
Jim
