Be sure to check that all of the panels are there and uncracked. They
have a tendency to get banged around in shipping. They're cast iron
and have a tendency to crack or break. They are essentially
unavailable on the used market, unless you get really lucky, but are
available from Monarch (for how much, you don't want to know). If you
need to make a claim, make sure you're not footing the bill.

Contact me off list and I'll see what I can dig up on the KB controls.
