The other issue of course is that brands often went through several
different hands and companies etc over the years, prompting those in the
know to say, ah yes it is the same design, but made by xgrot inc under
licence etc, and when it comes to distribution, then nobody seems to be
interested in which models of what were handled by whom.
Tannoy has baffled me for some time.
I have a pair of IIILzs here, original Tannoy I'd suspect, but only just.

You might be interested that Quad produced a (mono) version of it for
the BBC called a presence unit, where the push buttons selected various
mid range boost, as well as the normal tone controls. With the front

than a BBC mod.

Thanks. I had read that QUAD had made some 'specials' of the QCII for the
BBC. But no idea of the details.

I'm trying to also find the person who donated it to the Museum in case
they know. Alas, the actual orginal owner may be dead by now. Occupational
hazard of having bought such kit when new!

The question I keep running into is if a company, etc, has an archivist
who
keeps such info and ensures no details are lost. Sadly, the answer to such
questions is often a 'No' or a baffled blank look showing such an idea had
never occurred to anyone there. :-/
