Calling the good Doctor!

I was just wondering if you had any catalog/brochure photos/pages that featured a PL-520.

It would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

That was an unusual table. A unique design and kind of a bridge between two different lines. Introduced in 1977. I'm sure the Doc has a picture. There's a thread here specifically for requesting catalog pictures.

The closest I can get to the PL-520 (1977) is the PL-A450.

Also, the PL-A350 and PL-350B are close, but with a gray and black cabinet, respectively. However, both have a different arm assembly.

So, from a 1977 Japanese catalog, here is the PL-450 and PL-450B, plus the PL-A350B.

Thanks Doc!

I really like the table, and it's neat to know that it's kind of unusual.

I have the original manual, if someone would like a copy, but my scanner won't work with Vista, so I'm a bit hosed at the moment.

Since simac so graciously took care of a top-down pic, I'll post a nudie!
