Thank you Shock,
Your referenced web links are most appreciated. It would be nice if some of the previous Arcade Controls members that expressed interest in the Hankin Tabletop in previous blogs would step forward and share their findings - if they haven't gotten discouraged thus far. I will pursue checking out other resources and figure out where I can get the hardware and electronics once I have my parts list put together. I have never seen a Hankin Tabletop model, so I'm totally reliant on cross refenced support.
I myself live in California. Again, thank you for your suggestions and resources. Keep in touch.
