I have had mine since 1984.It's a great machine.Best pressure sensitive board I
have seen.
But you need the instruction manual-33 pages..Give me your addresse (E-mail me)
and I will copy mine and post it to you.

Lo=3secs. 1=5secs 2=10secs 3=30secs 4=60secs 5=120secs 6=40moves in 2hrs
L7= you set game time. L8= you set av. time per move,

Black from bottom = Press lev untill BD----- appears.Press the ENT button and
the ------- will dissapear. Black from bottom is now activated.This is the same
for random move.BE------ is best move. Press ENT the ----- disappears.
Random now activated.

Original AC/DC adaptor says input 110v-60HZ. output 5V-600MA

Have fun--Alan
