Holy potatoes, where were you able to find the info about your Davis machines? I have what I believe is a Davis Advance, but I have been pretty unsuccessful in finding information on it.
I actually have the original manual with it, but the only indication that I have that it's a Davis is a tiny, faded red stamp on the front of the booklet that I can barely make out as 'Davis.'
