Hi all-

    Looks like an SMS-3 card.  It's mounted wrong, of course, fins should be vertical.

    I think the copper was an RFI noise shield, and the user had a noisy electronic device sitting on the top. 

    Mine (#1221), was also missing a keypad arm.   The spring section of the arm must break easily.

    As you've seen, the "perfect" Chamby is baaaack.  Let's keep ignoring it, until it's free...

   #1221 (Headless in Loveland, CO.  Azimuth alignment awaits.)

Auction quote: "Has the stable motor card"

Judging by the right rear photo, the lid doesn't seem to close
evenly. I wonder if the cabinet is out of whack? It does look pretty
clean though.
