I know. I've been hunting around for a picture, and failing to
find one. The ASCII art I posted is the best I could do.

I have seen these for sale as recently as 5 years ago (don't
remember if new or used). Wen I said my Mom has had one for 40
years, that doesn't mean the product was available 40 years ago and
not more recently. My wife insists she has seen them in stores in
Singapore.
