It was the one featuring the lunar wain shaft that was simply configured with six hydrocoptic marzel vanes so that side fumbling was effectively eliminated.

I've found the model with the Rockwell Retroencabulator to be more reliable due to the Tremmy Pipe interaction with the Dinglesprocket.

When I first saw that model, i worried that it may not prove consistent re: the automatic synchronization of the cardinal gram meters. Has that been worked out or is there still concern there?

The Auto SV Advanced will be worth the repair. This is probably the "pneumatic block" or the fan. It's an expensive repair, but much less than a replacement. Make a call to and they will provide an estimate for repairs.
Will do!
Murrysville eh ??My wife worked at the McDonalds there back in 1982. I grew up in Greensburg. My wife is from Salem Twp ... William Penn Estates right off Rt 22 at 819. Real close to that huge gas pipeline explosion a couple years ago. She had family in Murrysville, Level Green and Trafford. I have a brother in Export.
I've seen Respironics is located there as well.
If you find yourself back in town with your wife, a date a Olives and Peppers restaurant would be a good idea.
Just sayin', I'd skip the McDonald's. but we have a dozen or so worthwhile places...the Respironics guys hang out at the Helltown Brewery in Export (formerly Rivertowne). We'll have to check that out for sure.

Ah YES ! The TURBO- ENCABULATOR !
Here's one of my favorite YouTube videos of all time of an Engineer explaining (in great detail) just how it works !! Enjoy !
Someone forward this to the Respironics folks. They are sure to get a kick out of it too !

Way awesome.
Imagine doing that spiel without a teleprompter. (I don't know whether he used one or not, but either way it's impressive.)

Does anyone have pictures/schematics of this part and where I can buy it ?
I know an excellent Electronics/PC Tech that does micro-soldering.
