That's venerable Canon SX engine, which is built like a tank & should
last forever if you look after it. They're nice machines to work on too,
unlike many of the newer types. I got rid of my own one (built from
scrapped machines) when I moved from a big place to a small place. I now
run an HP 4M+ with PostScript, which is nearly as solid.
