Apologies Joe, I know how it's affected you though, thats how I was when I discovered what Clarke & Smith was all about after a childhood recollection stimulated my curiosity !
That PDF makes very interesting reading, I already had it on file.
My 88/12 is like the 88/20 on page 11, just lower power with EL84's instead of EL34's, then my 959 is similar to the 950 shown on page 16.
I already had an SBFM like the one shown on the bottom of page 14.
They started out with SOLID oak cases but this soon changed to oak veneer on ply, interestingly though the edges were still solid oak strips. Internal construction was good quality and very neat, special attention was given to serviceability.
I wonder if there is some long forgotten educational store room full of mothballed, new, unused Clarke & Smith equipment waiting to be liberated ?!
