auctions aren't all bad!
#1

I picked up a new addition to the family yesterday, a 39-55 with the original mystery control, and I got it for a reasonable price on e-overpay, much to my surprise. I guess I'm glutton for punishment, first the 41-300, now this next will be a 116 ..not. Supposedly I'm the third owner. The guy I got it from had it for 18 years and never touched it or plugged it in. It even has the original plug, and it's in one piece... Icon_biggrin, not that I would plug it in. I'll post a couple of pic's when I get a chance to pull the chassis. woohoo!

Happily back in Illinois..not.

Congratulations! Icon_smile I think you will enjoy that 39-55. Since it came with the Mystery Control, that is a definite plus.
