The software didn't seem to be digesting the youtu.be links properly. I followed them and put in the appropriate parts of the youtube.com urls, and they seem to work.

Ah computers...

Thanks, Fritz!

The code you input looks identical to what I'd first tried to do, so maybe it's just a glitch on my computer?

Probably. One of the things I got to say a lot in my Kmart days was "Computers don't make mistakes. However, they're programmed by humans, who do."

@Alex Newborn - It's beautiful and it's screen-accurate. Nice find!

Amazing find, Alex!!!

Are Butler Enterprise and Wecor(spelling?) International the same company in Chicago or two separate ones?

Did the seller say where they got the screen accurate one from?

Sorry for the delay in responding.

I actually didn't think to ask the seller about where they obtained it.

Here are some pics with the pertinent manufacturer's info.

First pic is an overview. Closeups will correspond left to right.

(The John Hughes fan in me gets a kick out of this oldest one being on a Shermer Road in Illinois.)

There were two more from the less movie-like styles with some interesting info.

Thought I'd throw this in here too instead of starting another thread.

Sometimes you just have to wait a little longer to get it for a better price... even if in this case it was mainly on principle LOL.

All credit goes to DagobahDon on the RPF for identifying this item.
