Definitely the wrong mech. Should be an AC controlled mech with the

Yes, I did a service call on one of those Prestiges a while back. It
was in pretty poor shape. I believe the plastic bracket that held the
reversing switch in place was completely destroyed. It had been glued
back together multiple times, and it was beyond all hope of ever
holding together again.

Is it possible to use the later-style mech in this machine? I seem to
recall that City II's have a jumper option on the amp to select AC or
DC motor operation -- maybe this box has that too. The reversing
switch might be tougher to get around, though.

Probably best to just buy another carriage. At least the one he has
will be good for spare parts!
