Call Bill Gunn at Technical Service (608-868-6220). They bought this out 
from New
Idea farm equipment years ago. I have seen many at their place and I 
believe
there are quite a few differences between the GE and New Idea units, hope 
this
helps, John.

John is right; you have a New Idea branded GE (sounds like an E-10 
equiv.).  New Idea 
used modular cards on the controls instead of just mounting all the relays 
on a panel.  
All the attachments fit, and the motors etc.  The schematics are quite 
different.  You 
can re-wire as an E-10 (probably cheaper) but you would need most of an 
E-10's controls.  
The New Idea (if kept up) has better controls.
