One of the few relics of the past, Tesoro made Silver Sabre circuit board for Turtle Corp.
Just needs some minor service. Might even add a few more external controls............ Pretty cool, pretty rare find.

Is that a 10.5” concentric coil? And the silver Sabre was 10khz right? That’s super cool. Almost mythical coil lol.

Unless memory has failed me, or my notes or Owner Manual's were wrong, the Silver Sabre II, with the ED-120 Disc. circuitry, operated at 10 kHz.
