There is a web site which plans to put the service manual on-line later
this year, along with a lot of other info. I'm looking forward to seeing
the manual myself. It's been several years since I saw or heard a Gleeman
Pentaphonic in person, but I remember thinking at the time that they were
pretty cool.

They have either DCOs (hybrid oscillators), or more traditional analog VCOs
with automatic microprocessor-controlled tuning--I just can't remember
which. I do remember that there are no tuning pots inside a Pentaphonic. I
watched a couple of techs searching in vain for those one time.   :)


later,
Glen Berry
