Thanks, this looks like it's the once-lost now-found grand-child :
SC-1200A - 12/8/2 Amp Charger/Maintainer/Tester
This gives me a "spec" a and a general price-point to work from. Schumachers are all over ebay, so I can be patient for what I want.
.... virtual time passes ....
This information also helped me to Google this :

Wow, here's another charger :
Sunsei Solar Charge Controller | Batterystuff.com
I have an old Unisolar flexible panel, with specs close to this current model :
Code:
UniSolar Rated Rated Rated Open Short Dimensions
Model Power Voltage Current Circuit Circuit (inches)
(Watts) (Vmp) (Imp) Voltage Current
(Voc) (Isc)
USF-11 10.3 16.5 0.62 23.8 0.78 21.80x16.70
I am hoping that the "Sunlinq 12" mentioned above is a good match for my Unisolar :
Sunlinq 12Watt 12V Portable Power Pack
Code:
Sunlinq SL-12 :
Maximum current at STC* (mA) = 800
Nominal Operating Voltage (V) = 12V
Typical Power (Watts) at STC* = 11
Maximum Power (Watts) = 12
*Standard Test Conditions:
Irradiance level 1000W/m2,
spectrum AM 1.5 and cell temperature 25 şC
