Description:
Found in a second hand store in Kansas City, Missouri. Plugged in to find lights worked but they flashed errors. Bought it and replaced the batteries and degunked it (primarily the gear and the steel operational bar) as well as cleaned the dust from inside and the grime from the body. Functions as expected now. Model is 6781-024 made after 1991 (based on the tag inside).
