Thanks for the info, Rick.  I had found your page via google once I
got a private reply telling me it looked like the FX-1.  I'm guessing
you saw the Flickr page after I updated it :)   I wasn't sure if it
was a true ESR-1, since the ESR pics I found showed it with a
different color face, but I figured that was just a cosmetic change.
