A 3/60 was definitely not "current product" at the time (1990) -- they
probably rented it from some local prop shop.  3/60's were new in 1987
and the SS1 was probably current at the time of filming.

I didn't really pay to much attention to #2, but I do remember laughing
at the diags in the first movie!  ;-)
