Boss gave me a bit of stuff today, among the pieces this Japanese power pack, I'd never seen a Tenshodo throttle before. He gets in some interesting pieces sometimes! Not something he'd think he could sell, so he gave it to me. :) Not often you see something like this in the USA, it does have the USA 110VAC plug on it, so it was made for the market here. Throttle lever is different, small, spring loaded to snap back to neutral. And on the closest side, not the top like most throttles.

Very neat piece, AMC. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it period. Except I've heard of Tenshodo and have a basic idea of what they made.

| From what I've read about half of Japan also uses those style plugs. But I agree - it's quite unusual.
