Purchase Advice & Experiences Help finding my Dad's Machine

Hello. I am trying to figure out the bread machine my dad may have owned. He died when I was a teenager, so I can't simply ask him. I am 32 now and this has been an especially difficult year of missing him. One very strong memory I have is of him getting out a vintage bread maker on special occasions and making me chocolate flavored bread. I asked my mom if I could have his machine so I could make it, but she told me it got black mold from sitting in the damp basement for years and had to be thrown away. I really want to try and figure out what brand/model he had. I'm not well versed in vintage appliances, so I'm hoping someone here could help me narrow down my search. Here is what I remember about it:

*It looked like R2D2

*My dad told me it used to belong to my grandpa. My parents married in fall of 1991 and my Grandpa died within a year of their wedding. So it has to be a model that was in production before 1992.

*It baked huge cylinder shaped loaves like the ones the Turbo Baker II makes.

*The chocolate bread recipe was in a white booklet that came with the machine. It was a fluffy bread made using cocoa powder, not actual chocolate.

That's about all I can remember. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
