Thanks for that link Bill. It definitely needs TLC - a lot of it! I’ve never seen that model before, but if you look closely you’ll see that it doesn’t use LED’s but rather Panaplex displays (my favorite). Wish it wasn’t rack mount, cheaper and in better shape or I might have went for it just for those displays. Another interesting thing I noticed: rear label shows Eldorado as a subsidiary of E-H International. Never heard of ‘em but I guess they had acquired Eldo at some point. My only Eldo is model 1607 counter/timer. This really helps toward my curiosity about that company and I am grateful.
