 Interesting to see, although it was 11 years ago I worked on them.
 I RE'd the schematic for half of it if needed. It was interesting to see the
 1802 with all it's support in there when I first opened them up. 
 
I had no idea there was a tuner from that era with a microprocessor,
but they picked a fun one.  What does it do?  Run the digital display?
