Welcome to the Forum dsan. Try the search box up top. There should be info "here there and everywhere". These were in great demand at one point but that has all subsided now. You will find all sorts of restorations carried out at different levels in the past but you should be aware that this set may not be an ideal "starter" item, eg the PSU is a bit more complex than is standard ie the negative line is "floating" away from the chassis, not directly connected, as part of the negative bias arrangement [I think I've got that right?] so the PSU may not be "plug in and play" and caution is needed. They are certainly a very interesting set though!

I hope that helps you.
