Any Info on the Randall RB1500?

Hi everybody. Been lurking for a bit, and got stumped looking for info on this amp. I looked at the Randall page for a manual, and I could find all kinds of RB-series amps, but not the 1500.

Google searches leave me dry, so I figured someone here might know where I can find some details on this. There's no impedance value marked anywhere on it, as an example of how little documentation I have on this thing. Anyone know anything about this thing?
 
Alright. I've got some pictures here:

These were taken before giving it a shot of canned air, so it's pretty dang clean in there.
 
Alright, it looks like this is the most comprehensive thing online about the RB1500. I contacted Randall, and they said that this guy wasn't made for very long, and said the closest documentation they have are the RB1000 and RB2000 manuals.

Looking at the RB2k, it seems pretty similar, except that there's no hi or low amp; it's all one unit. Because of that, all the hi and low splitting features are missing. Cosmetically, that appears to be all the difference.
