Thanks guys.
Hi Julian... they don't appear very often. They were certainly a limited run.
How many were made, why they were made has a certain shroud of mystery around it. Some say Micro Sieki had a big hand in it and it's alledged that it was a big part. The team that designed it were fired from Trio/Kenwood in 1983. LOL... Wonder if the project nearly bust the company?
Mine is a UK model and again, a very limited run were made for the UK.
