Actual part # was RLMPMOO8GEZZ....."rimmel limp moo 8 gezz" probably should have been "errr limp moo 8 gezz"......but rimmel stuck..... (That was back in 1984-87).

A special thanks goes to Jeff at | Shoreline | | Electronics for the tip for IC900 (STRM6811). I had gone over this | chassis | | using heat and freeze spray but missed this one.
