Hi all...

        Well, my rather relaxed hunt for a good priced not working omega
race mini has come to a close. Good things come to those who wait! Special
thanks to SPW and Patty.

        Now on to my questions...

        This version of the CP spinner has the POT type control. The one
in there is 100 K and rotated rather roughtly all the way around no pysical
stops. It is also very rusty, accounting for the rough ride. The problem I
have is that this looks to be a replacment pot, not the original, and the
manual does not specify this equipment, only the spinner/encoder type
circuit. Any one have the proper specs on this pot?

        Anyone have a NOS CPO for a mini? Not likely I know! For a machine
in remakable condition cometically, it was weird to see water damage on the
inside of the CP. Hopefully the little board bolted on the inside to hadle
the spinner pot is okay, since my manual does not include mention, or
schmatics of this little wonder.

        FWIW, I picked this little machine up with no monitor and a bad
board, knowing I have a working monitor and boardset. The board that came
with it still had the battery on it. Yikes! two full rows full rows of
chips are in a bad way.

TTFN

Mike
