Hi Everyone The latest update on the quad has both good news and bad news. First the good news. After fixing the control panel, I reassembled the unit to give it a serious test run.

Hi Eugene Getting good photos of this machine has proved difficult for me but the photo below shows what we are up against. This was in the as-received condition with heavy wear on most of the popular keys. One of my first steps was to use the standard B&O cleaning recipe, ie water with one drop of washing liquid - applied on a damp cloth. All I
