I dont have one, but list-member Bill M. mentioned that he had one in this
thread -

He was kind enough to send a photo, but I believe he was trying to find it a
new home, and I'm not sure if he has one.
I was going to put it in the "Generation 1" section of the Riv pages on the
Cyclofiend site. So far, there's little else there, and the page is
embarrassingly sparse.
But, here's the link to the page:

And the direct link to the image he sent:
