Perfect. You really know this stuff! Separately, the unit has 2 AA batteries   
   to remember the top 3 selections. --they look to be fresh and working. Under   
   the turn table is an old battery wired in--the manual labels it as a battery   
   pack. I'm guessing that    
   this hasn't worked in years. Any idea what it's purpose is?  Perhaps to finish   
   a cycle if it gets unplugged?  I'm guessing that there is a trickle charge to   
   it.?
