I have one of these sitting around, along with the sunlynx module (string combined rough cc).  We have almost "donated" it to projects as well, but decided it would be long term headache. I have PDFs of a lot of vanner equipt.  What us model number?

Btw-  story goes that way back when, someone opened up one if these units and inside was a trace c-40! 

For a brighter energy future,
