It is rumored to have been made by the Sano people in New Jersey but I cannot confirm that. I was able to lay hands on a more or less complete set of schematics and they are reproduced here. It's pretty clean but needs a bit of work to get everything running properly-the vibrato does not work, the reverb just barely, and the controls are noisy as all getout.
Still, the guitar channel sounds a lot like a Fender of the era, with a fair amount of sparkle. And who knows, with the right accordionist you could stir up some real fun and polka.
Plus, it's weird and nobody else around here has one.
Just wanted to thank you for posting the schematics. I found one of these about a year ago and have been getting a kick out of it. Believe mine has a slightly different speaker setup but am hoping the diagrams match. Starting to have some issues and think it may need a trip to the doctor.
