Found it at the local flee market for $30. Always wanted one of these ice cube buttoned, moving panel receivers. As I said before, I like the gizmo factor almost as much as the music reproduction ability. It is a little crusty so I decided it would be great in the garage. Everything worked except the suckface. I finally ordered a new belt and got a chance to dive in this afternoon. It became obvious this unit was not a virgin as screws were mismatched, the servo motor had one lead cut, and there a few ugly solder joints (more like blobs). After getting it all back together, screws sorted out and/or replaced, I give it a whirl. No joy. It would not move at power on, but just nudge a little bit when turni8ng off. Three of the poor solder joints were on the position switch for the drive cam for suckface. I said to myself- "Overlord of the Galaxy, I bet the previous 'tech' swapped the leads on that switch." I found the service manual, and sure enough, the normally open lead was swapped with the normally closed. Made the change, was disappointed in my own not-so-perfect solder technique, and tried again. Eureka! The panel moves in and out just as advertised. Hooked it back up to the JBL 62's and it sounds great! Think I have a pic.
