  • Notes

  • The PCB is stamped AM-80 but the label is marked 2-AM-80. The same model was also sold in the UK: Price UK £10.17s.3d. plus tax £3.2s.9d. 

    This model had two different styles of chassis.  One style has an easel stand in the back and the other style has no stand but thin, horizontal textured lines.  Consequently, both styles have different carrying cases: one to accomodate the easel stand and the other for a flat back.

    See similar model AM-80 with a different battery.
