You probably have the Peak 1.5 or 2 amp model PKC0AF? I've seen them at $22 to $38. Might be fine. I never tried one because Black & Decker does not provide full specs or a full manual, on-line for it. It's called "semi-intelligent" and I have no idea what that is supposed to mean. I think it's what teachers used to call me in high school. I've had nothing with trouble with anything Black & Decker has sold the past year from Vector in China.

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
