The Litton mentioned above was
probably a low-power unit - I'd bet on it being under 700 watts, if not
lower.


Actually not.

800 Watts according to its specs.

Its ability to handle metal was one of its best selling points - along with
being $100 cheaper than the competing Amana.

It was Litton's top-of-the-line in 1974.

At last report, it's still going strong.
