watching this... gonna try like hell to snipe it at the last second so we can gut it and figure it out!

A buddy of mine had one, and sold it.  Took him forever.  There are schems for this posted around.  Quite honestly, nothing that earth-shattering.  It's really more of what we would now consider to be a multi-FX unit, incorporating a sort of Maestro "greatest hits".  That's nothing to sneeze at, but if you have a:
Maestro phaser
Maestro S&H
Maestro octave divider
maestro fuzz

...you're pretty much most of the way there.

Damn, I can`t access Ebay from work, so I can`t see what it is.. What is it? USS-1? I`ve hankered for one of those forever. I`m supposed to be getting one for repair at some point.

[Mark Hammer]

Yup, it's a USS-1.

is the phrase hen's teeth used as the common slang meaning very scarce or impossible to find, when talking about this stuff?

[Mark Hammer]

Yes.
