Lucky You! It took me almost ten years to find one! That was
pre-Internet.

If the knobs are missing the silver inlay (like the Argonauts have) it's
an early PM-3. I have a PM3 with pure black plastic knobs and one that
has knobs JUST LIKE the Argo. I thought at one time that a previous owner
replaced them because they are prettier than the ols knobs. But, I've
seen several PM3 since that have the Argo-style knobs so I believe there
was a production change.
