Smallish Yamaha Continental Console

In my ever evolving quest for a second piano for our second home, I ran across a smallish Yamaha continental with a woodgrain finish.
I have no idea how old this one is, the poor thing is in need of a "20 year" tuning, and each of its 3 pedals is different from the others.
I, of course, don't really care for continentals - they're WAAAY to plain for my taste. This means, of course, that I'm now considering one (Never say "Never"!) - as I really liked the sound of this example and it is a nice size for where I'd want to place it.
Anyway, does anyone have any idea of what model number/name this might be (for Googling purposes)? Its about 40 inches (guesstimate) high.

Maybe LU-11. Not sure.

I never really liked a continental console either… seems like they would tip over easily without legs or toe-blocks. I suppose if you could acquire one cheap enough and you liked the sound of it you could learn to like it…  Good luck! Rick

Thanx to all so far...
Googling the LU-11, says it wasn't exactly Yamaha's best effort - and the pictures I've turned up look similar - but not as nice. This one (the one I've seen in person) has a nice cabinet - the pix I've turned up of LU-11s look like plastic covered "walnut" MDF.
But it at least gives me an idea of what's out there...

I think this may be the one (M1A) - this looks like the one I saw.
Thanx!
