Well I'm a few steps closer than I was last week.
Their British made, I've more reference pic's now with a serial number to boot, pardon the pun & presumably the company has gone under, which really just leaves thrift shop's to hunt round.
If the company has stopped production, then who did them is redundant now, so these would be my alternative preference & retailing in lower than $200 which makes my pocket happier

Just my 2cent's, still a great find!
