Hey John @jhz563 - welcome to the "Rich Murnane is a dummy and bought something he didn't completely understand" party.
I think I was "duped" - bought a cool engine under the premise it was conventional but it was really PS-2 under the covers. Worse things have happened, but to me it feels like winning a scratch-off lotto ticket.
Below are some pictures of the guts of the tender, and a video.
From above, it looks like the next steps I think would be to:
1. walk through Barry's steps
2. figure out if the track is a programming track
3. maybe replace that battery?
I also noticed that one side of the speaker looks to be corroding a little bit. Another "weird" thing was the white stuff next to what looks like a capacitor on top of the board.
Maybe the PS-2 was fried somehow, but this thing normally runs fine conventionally, I've run it tons at home without command.
Thanks again everyone for the help. I'm clearly a DCS/Command-Control newbie and feel a little bit like a fish out of water with this stuff.
