Well... I had one when I was 19, and have looked for another for 30 years. I have a CA95 sitting inmy living room in the dead of winter.

Welcome to the club! The CA95 is a good size for the living room too.

Never done a restore before, but am learning a ton! Will try to post in progress photos.
Why does the parts manual have 87 pages and 40 are blank???
