the 800 was deemed not a good design to continue, and the 1600 was a
redesign by Ken Omohundro.  The 800's DTL was a big reason to do the
redesign, as well as other problem with it.
What is the history of your 800?

 I'll be really interested to see how the 1600 restoration goes.  Some
 pictures would be nifty - hint, hint.  :-)  I keep thinking I'll dig
 the 820 I have out of the garage some day...  I never worked with a
 1600, but I sort of assume it is in at least some ways a descendant of
 the 800 series.
