I'm very grateful to everyone who posted advice about the 190. About the 7-year limit -- the 190 was introduced in 1995 -- I don't know the discontinuation date. Unfortunately this particular 190 has an AA after the serial number! I'm still working on the problem -- will let you know how it all ends.
